Who is arguing about the importance of the term IOE? Important to who? Cisco. So what if Cisco paid millions for it? Lucky them the domain wasnt owned by Rick, you know the one that sits on the throne, he`d probably ask for 20% shares on top. If Cisco see IOE as a marketing ploy then it only makes sense for them to pay up for the domain. Nothing new.. Companies have been doing that since the advent of domaining.

Calm down please. Cisco is pumping money into IOT, which it sometimes refers to as IOE. Copying and pasting Cisco`s products and putting IOE in front of them does not support your claims. These are IOT network products. If you want to call them IOE products please go ahead. Changes nothing.

"Standards are created usually by a collection of stakeholders in an industry. Whereby members agree to a set level of quality,compatibility of products and best practices. So how can Cisco set any such standard unitarily? Cisco is not. Cisco is not claiming to be. Cisco is a member of many bodies trying to find a working standard for the IOT.
"
You Are VERY WRONG ON MANY LEVELS! Standards are NOT created via the stakeholders (stakeholders are those whom have only stake in the company, and DO NOT have anything to do with the direction of it's technology OR deposition) This is why it's called stakeholders. Only the
Governing body of the executive/board members have that ability...
Standards are created by the Industry set forth by ICS 35.110: Networking, as well as empirically leveraged and gauged and thus created by the real gross product index (rgp) "ICS Networking" thus it is the industry needs basis for a products and/or products in a sector/market, in which case the case we are discussing is product sector of InterNetworking/Telecommunications = devices, platforms, ISVs and intelligent connected devices.
In addition..before you actually write as though you knew the industry. I am an Industry Veteran who has worked in the field for over 22 years. I have been an employee for IBM for the last 17 years. IBM Global Services is in partnership with Cisco Systems, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Sun, Avaya etc etc. thus we all rely on their devices tools/routers switches,PIX/Firewall, in which we will All need to obtain our certifications from our partner and one major partner is Cisco. Cisco being our partner is stating the the IoT will evolve into the IoE, thus when IoE becomes standard we will have the need to again re-certify to become compliant to those standard set forth. Again as mentioned...whether folks like yourself agree or disagree, the point is, is that Cisco ultimately sets the standard for certifications In the case of contiguous and discontiguous networks i.e., CCNA, CCNP, BCRAN etc., etc...and soon the IOE InterNetworking Certifications.
Albeit, Cisco still does refers to the term IoT, as well as the integrated term and end result is IoE. Cisco sets the standards and the industry quickly follows. As for the IoE certifications IBMs is committed adhering to those certifications.
I simply joined this forum to see why there was this interest the ownership of IoE domains, however this discussion has become somewhat serious of a debate.
Whether the debate is IoT or IoE will thus be determined on who has deeper pockets to thus promote their brand, Cisco basically sets the standards and the industry follows i.e., as stated... IBM etc.
