IoT adoption requires coordinated three-sector funding, not market forces alone

Sundaram argues that siloed public, private, and government investments are insufficient for U.S. IoT adoption—only coordinated, long-term funding across all three sectors can overcome structural barriers. This represents a rejection of market-led adoption models in favor of deliberate institutional alignment and sustained government commitment.
