@Kevin Smith posible overlap with Dedicated Network API (proposal), related to configure a network for a set of devices. To be reviewed.

Issue#14 raised to discuss about posible overlap

@fabrizio moggio : Proposal to include IoT API (separate repo) as part of the Dedicated Network “family” (share participants and meetings) to align use cases and definitions.

@Jan Friman : this API looks like a specialization of Dedicated network API

Proposal: To be proposed in the Dedicated network issue to validate Issue#14

TIM proposed an alternative approach to complement Dedicated Networks API, so that developer can manage energy modes, IoT slice selection os similar for a IOT device.

@Tanja de Groot @Thorsten Lohmar proposed those features to be generic, not dedicated to IoT use cases

Continue discussion with the new scope, including new API name.

Dedicated network group will still be used to include the previous scope (scheduling a network config for IoT)

New scope of API will be discussed separately.
