Internet of Things (IoT) boss at Vodafone, Ivo Rook, has moved to US telco Sprint, to boost its commercial IoT networks.<\/p>\n

Rook spent the last seven years at Vodafone as the phone company\u2019s chief executive in IoT division.<\/p>\n

According to The Register<\/em>, he now aims to become Sprint\u2019s senior vice-president.<\/p>\n

Rook said on IoT matters: \u201cMy focus will be on developing secure IoT solutions for our business customers and all people who want to make the best of the digital revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Rebbeck, IoT research director at analyst firm Analysys Mason, added to The Register<\/em>: \u201cSprint has struggled in the shadow of Verizon and AT&T in the US IoT market.<\/p>\n

“Both Verizon and AT&T will earn US$1billion from IoT in 2017; Sprint much less. Sprint has also been slower to roll out.\u201d<\/p>\n
