Looks like the US is like 10 years behind the Europe.

But if I understand correctly those electronic shelf labels will be remote controlled. IoT?

Technically IoT, but usually these systems use a hub that uses some other tech to connect to the labels as wifi is really power hungry, even if you just wake up every once in a while to ask for updates, and you don't want 10000 wifi iot things polluting the bandwidth.
