I have seen the analogous between the word of microprocessor/microcontroller and wireless sensor network, the way todays IT service provider company provides service for the buisiness need to the rest of the world.
Consider a case, how a service provider company do business in embedded system and typically in microprocessor and microcontroller domain. They purchase these chips from large manufactuer, (e.g. intel 8085A) and do rest of the things to package them into end-to-end business solution. In this process they need to design so many hardware, write low level embedded software, and finally the end applications.
Since the costs of the microprocessors are very low in comparision to the wireless sensor motes, lots of business happen just for end application development. The WSN, with so much promise already done, can we acquire the same strategy like microprocessor microcontroller based industry.
