1. 4.6 [2] Stakeholders of M2M Consolidation Brian Daly – Member of ATIS Delegation(AT&T Director, Core Network & Government/Regulatory Standards) Meeting of Potential M2M Consolidation Partners #2 August 17-18, 2011 Washington, DC M2MCons02_12

2. Stakeholders of M2M Consolidation • Vertical market players • M2M has many diverse markets and players • Initial outreach should target at least stakeholders in these market segments: • Connected home • Connected car/telematics • mHealth • Smart Grid • Service Providers But who are the “service providers” in an M2M ecosystem?

3. Service Provider Stakeholders • Traditional “telcos” and ISPs • Provide access/connectivity and basic transport • May provide adaptation layer in the network to support service requests from higher layers • M2M “application providers” • These are the vertical market segments providing the end to end applications • These are not necessarily the traditional telcos/ISP/etc. • New “service layer providers” • This is the layer being defined by the M2M Global Harmonization Initiative • New provider of services between the application layer and transport • Provide set of services to allow M2M applications to run efficiently • Could be run on IMS-based “Application Servers” for example, or in a traditional IP environment, could be new elements in the service layer architecture Need to look at “service providers” differently in an M2M ecosystem

4. Stakeholders of M2M Consolidation • SDOs • Traditional “telecom” or ICT • Vertical segment SDOs • Some vertical segments have accredited SDOs established • “Non- service layer” SDOs should are not envisioned to be directly involved at the global level, but rather through liaison activities for the definition of appropriate APIs or adaptation layers • SDO/Fora that provide ancillary (to service layer) functions • E.g., IEEE, Bluetooth SIG, BBF, OMA, etc.
