M2M - a new hope?
Human-initiated traffic:• Extensive amount of traffic• High ARPU• High-speed data required• Number of accounts – saturated• High churn
M2M-initiated traffic
• Minimal level of traffic
• Low ARPU
• GPRS is sufficient (usually)
• Vast number of accounts
• Minimal churn

How to sustain flexibility – practical tips
Adjust service granularity to level of integration.
Fine grained services make more sense on lower levels.

Conclusion
• SOA is a proven tool for setting up Next Generation services faster
• B2B interactions increase value of these services but also stress SOA flexibility
• Apply SOA elements where they brings most value, distribute complexity, keep key areas open
