1. IoT @
Ari Jaaksi

2. Mozilla Mission
Why IoT matters for us
● The new frontier for Internet
● Will impact our lives
● Mozilla wants to be end user advocate in this new
Connected World
Mozilla & Connected Devices

3. Fundamental Needs for IoT
Interoperability Security & Privacy Openness
These are close to Mozilla values.

4. Looking for a Reason?
Solve Real Problems Offer Real Value Offer Compelling
Experiences
These need to be solved before IoT can impact our lives.
Are they being solved?

5. What are We Focusing on?
If consumer IoT is only about utility solutions, such as
● Energy savings
● Home security
● Monitoring
this new phase of the Internet will not live up to its full
potential!

6. We need a Human Connection
On a Social and Emotional level
IoT must be integrated to be a part of our life to:
● Bring us closer together
● Provide a means to communicate
● Create a social fabric between people
● Entertain and provide enjoyment
● Connect people and things that matter to us

7. Example: Sonos (--not related to Mozilla projects)
● Compelling experience
● Connects families and
friends around music
● Entertains
● Impacts our emotions

8. ● IoT identified as a future focus area
● Product projects (Lean Startup method)
● Focus on solving real end user problems
● Absolute openness from day 0
● Volunteers & community
● Working with selected external companies not to
scale but to learn
