Smart Dubai: An Amazon AWS Connection
October 2, 2019
Amazon AWS provides the plumbing for the Amazon owned Souq.com. Amazon has a “region” and “edge location” in the United Arab Emirates. Amazon is supporting an educational push to infuse those with an interest in computer science in the ways and lingo of AWS. There was an Amazon summit in the UAE as well.
I thought about these Amazon actions when I read “Smart Dubai to Have a Marketplace for Sharing and Exchanging Data by 2021.” I learned:
Smart Dubai is building a data marketplace in a bid to monetise data through centralised and decentralised platforms, a top official said.
This initiative may be a glimpse of the smart data system disclosed in US 9947043. The Dubai activity may be the testing ground for a service which may be rolled out in the US as Amazon edges toward broader investigative services for the US government’s enforcement agencies, the IRS, and the SEC, among others.
