Benefits • Lowers OPEX and CAPEX • OPEX: Lower cost of deployment; developers focus on applications (not on underlying communications); economies of horizontal service layer (common functions for diverse use-cases) • CAPEX: Efficient communications (policy-driven and event triggered); Sensor data sharing (produce once, consume many times); transport economics (use best transport network for business needs) • Simplifies the development of applications • Creates mass-market economies of scale • Accelerates Io. T adoption Without one. M 2 M With one.

Business reality • Developers and suppliers need to know that service providers will adopt this standard in order for them to invest in it. • Many service providers are not ready to commit.
