[Bp_ipv6] Latest ver of Background Paper

Thu Aug 27 04:28:58 EDT 2015

IoT is already here, and wide spread. Have a look at Germany, when you select “energy”.
As en example how a government uses IoT already to measure radiation in every little town. 
Not even talking about bike shed availability in Dubai and weather stations people share.
