Thanks, Don.
As you pointed out, there are multiple use cases associated with remote monitoring and surveying, some of them I mentioned on the blog. The real issue is to create the technology to safely address them and the "confidence" in technology that will convince regulators (AAs) to open the market. That is actually what we are working to do.
More, you really identified one of the key enablers of this effort, that is the use of Cisco Collaboration (here used in an "unconventional way"). Collaboration per se is a great way to make people boosting the value of cooperation, but when you add IoT to the equation and put sensors (e.g. video, thermal, gas, etc.) and human in the same cooperative environment, then the capability to address issues and solve them quicker and more efficiently grows exponentially.
