Key Points • • GSC 17 -PLEN-68 r 1 Whatever Internet of Things (IOT) is, it is big Massive global market for machine communications M 2 M industry is fragmented – silos and verticals; need to address with a horizontal view in mind Need improved wireless network that can provide good coverage, extended battery life and low cost modules If overlapping standards, then need to explore how to harmonize those standards Enable developers to adopt the technology by use of open development tools/open source World has changed and traditional operators have to work and talk with the developers GSC-17, Jeju / Korea 4 Standards for Shared ICT

Conclusions GSC 17 -PLEN-68 r 1 • Extensive work in M 2 M being undertaken in many SDOs and other forums and organizations including the Open Source Community • Scope of work very similar among many organizations – to develop specifications to address M 2 M from a horizontal perspective and to support the various vertical applications • Need strong relationship and cooperative liaisons among organizations to reduce duplication and avoid fragmentation of standards • Focus of MSTF is to facilitate cooperation and information exchange among traditional SDOs and beyond such as the Open Sources Community GSC-17, Jeju / Korea 5 Standards for Shared ICT

GSC 17 -PLEN-68 r 1 Strategic Direction • Position GSC MSTF as a forum the purpose of which is to strengthen the work of international bodies focusing on Io. T and M 2 M standards. • Become a global source of valuable information coming from an eclectic range of sources, both traditional and non-traditional players in the M 2 M standards arena (vertical market groups, Open Source, other technology groups, fora and associations). • Reconfirm the GSC MSTF as a neutral venue where ideas on M 2 M can be debated and exchanged outside a formal standardization process framework. GSC-17, Jeju / Korea 6 Standards for Shared ICT

GSC 17 -PLEN-68 r 1 Challenges • Handle the big number of vertical market-related SDOs, associations and other groups addressing various technologies supporting M 2 M • Develop effective collaboration and harmonization between SDOs, governments, regulatory bodies, and various industry groups such as the Open Source Community • Eliminate fragmentation, overlap and duplication GSC-17, Jeju / Korea 7 Standards for Shared ICT

GSC 17 -PLEN-68 r 1 Next Steps / Actions • Review GSC MSTF charter for rules and procedures regarding information sharing • Create and maintain list of GSC MSTF individual participants • Organize 2 GSC MSTF meetings before GSC-18 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea 8 Standards for Shared ICT

GSC 17 -PLEN-68 r 1 Proposed Resolution • Refresh the GSC MSTF charter and amend GSC 16 Res 30 resolution accordingly to be submitted to GSC during GSC 17. Amended resolution may include: • Reinforce the GSC MSTF as a neutral platform for organizations working in Io. T and M 2 M to come together to share information and explore ways for future harmonization of standards • Renewal of Jeff Smith as chair of GSC MSTF until GSC-18 • Identification of TIA as home base of GSC MSTF until GSC-18 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea 9 Standards for Shared ICT
