Few film producers have a resumé as impressive as Ed Rivero’s. He’s as crossover as it gets. He worked years with the most powerful players in Hollywood (Ridley & Tony Scott ring a bell? Quentin f*****g Tarantino?) yet he saw a business opportunity in the Hispanic market and jumped in with both feet.

Viewers could customize their version of the app to some extent by negotiating with their app developer – that is, their cable or satellite company. By Chris Louie, VP Product Leadership / Nielsen

As with many seemingly overnight sensations, the Internet of Things (IoT) — the digitization of everyday objects — has been a long time coming.
