IF IT SEEMS LIKE THE SKY IS FALLING, THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS. We're deploying a consumer IoT (Internet of Things) device, with each device connected to a cloud service that acts as the platform from which it will be controlled. The device itself isn't dangerous: it's a simple, slimmed-down tablet to be used in hotel chains to replace an alarm clock and TV remote, and to provide access to room service. The device is battery operated, rechargeable, and cheap enough that hopefully no one will want to steal it. Guests can't load any information into it, and, unlike a typical tablet, it does not serve as a web browser.
