That's why *groups* write standards instead of individual organizations
(even if those groups are composed of organizations).  Its not in THEIR
best interest to go rogue with a corporation-specific standard -- unless
they KNOW they can command a chunk of the market without risking losing
it to some other players (e.g., Beta vs. VHS).

IoT is far too new/evolving.  People can't decide what the IoT
environment will look like, how much of it will be covered in
standards (i.e., which OSI layers), what the goals of the market will
be, etc.

Beyond the MECHANICS of communication, there's the whole semantic
issue -- how do you codify *meaning* across an unconstrained set of
devices/applications?

So, individual players are trying to bring their own mini-ecosystems
to the market and, of course, they are too narrow in scope.  You then
end up with little islands of automation that do little more than
give you remote control.
