The Open Interconnect Consortium or OIC, led by such industry heavyweights as Intel, Cisco, Samsung, General Electric and Samsung, is making public its long-waited Internet of Things specification 1.0.

The OIC move is expected to add weight to the IoT debates brewing over several incompatible specs promoted by different groups.

The OIC 1.0 is technically still a "candidate spec," because the group is going through a 60-day formal IPR process, said executive director Mike Richmond. "By the third week of October, we expect it to become the formal spec."

During an interview with EETimes, Richmond stressed that "we all need to understand that the big unresolved problem with IoT is not about 'things.' It is about the network."
