185: Why Is Interoperability So Hard?

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #185 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

In this week's episode, Steve, Rob, Bill, and Pete jump on Web3 to talk about:

* Bad Karaoke Tune of the Week: Seventeen by Winger
* Why Pete has a wall of guitars and didn't pull one down to fill in for Leonard
* A little about AWS re:Invent,.... not quite. 
* What's so smart about smart cities - we have connected communities!
* Can there be a smart city standard?
* Where is the love for Windows NT?
* How did you implement the open-source standard?
* Getting paid on open source
* What was hot by AWS re:Invent and big disses on Microsoft and the OpenAI fiasco
* Is OpenAI the only game in town or is a real open AI approach and options a better thing?

It's a great episode. Check out the whole thing. You will get all you need to survive another week in the world of IoT and greater tech!
