Manage WHAT?

Perhaps, instead of looking for new sources of revenue, which no doubt will consume more of the already 'precious' bandwidth, which of course is forcing a change to metered billing, these companies ought to spend time looking for/investing in/creating better ways to manage their existing resources.

When they can manage their network 100% of the time with 100% uptime availability, I'll consider letting them in my house. Unlikely that I'll let them, but I'll consider it!

Imagine - you 'outsource' your connected home to /fill in the name of your provider here/ and entrust them to keep your house at a reasonable 64 degrees (no one home during the day), raising it to 68 at 5:30 before you get home at 5:45. Ooops - sorry - the local node is overloaded - we couldn't get that command through to your heating system.
Or....Ooops - we sent the incorrect command, and it turned on the air conditioning instead. What? You don't like coming home to a 50 degree indoor temperature??? We'll give you a credit on your next bill....
