[iot-discussion] What role does the SP play in protecting consumers re IoT?

Hi Peter,

I didn't mean to be so focused on privacy.  I think you would agree that
there are a plethora of security problems with Things.  Pick your
favorite: toilet, refrigerator, baby monitor, light bulb, or other.  The
attacks are varied and can be indirect (use the device to attack others)
or indirect (exfiltrate private information, cause the device to cause
harm to the owner, etc).  It's clear that manufacturers have a role to
play in securing their devices.  The network also has a role to play. 
And surely governments will establish their own roles (and have done in
some cases).  I clearly have my own views, but I am curious what you and
others believe these various roles to be.
