Smartness can be incorpo-rated into BSOs by embedding virtualization, predictive analytics, and proactive computing and communications capabilities. A few use cases including the relevant privacy and protocol requirements are also presented. General usage and deployment eti-quette along with the relevant regulatory implications are then discussed.展开更多
