I always felt that Ed/Pachube’s document are a great starting point for the data ownership/usage dialog that needs to happen. It’s very practical for the consumer and (some of) the public/government space, but not necessarily applicable as a blanket policy for data ownership for IoT applications. It does of course open up many, many additional topics that need to discussed, defined, and clarified.
For example, as we’ve seen in the political discourse we’ve had here in the USA regarding campaign funding, even a definition of what “People” are isn’t simple! Also, some of the proposal, while virtuous in principle, are not without implications or exceptions. Military, public safety/security data critical infrastructure data, and so on will clearly not be openly publicly accessible. Ethics debate could go on ad infinitum regarding whether “People” sacrifice their data ownership rights when criminal acts are involved, and so on.
All in all, it is an incredibly complex issue, but I think that if the focus is on the consumer persona and non-sensitive public data, consensus (and hopefully real progress and innovation) should be pretty easily achievable!
