The Internet is now an integral part of our daily lives and we would struggle to imagine life without it. However, growth has largely been driven by access to content and speed. 

We are now moving into the new phase of growth where the everyday "things" around us will be connected to the Internet. This is the Internet of Things (IoT). It will have a profound impact on our daily lives and change the way we interact with our environment.

The IoT will also have a big impact on way industries operate and relate with their customers. This is particularly true for insurance companies where there is an opportunity to move from being passive and reacting to losses to helping prevent them.
