Facts and trends
2015
Estimated price fall per node, Source: Gartner (2003, 2008)
Cost ($)?
Tiny MEMS (Micro ElectroMechanic Systems)
exist as temperature sensors, gyroscopes,
microphones etc
Small low cost modems 30x36x4.8Xmm
Microenergy sources
• 10 B microprocessors produced every year
• Typically 350 electrical devices in a Nordic home• Short range communications cost towards zero• GSM module cost falling rapidly• M2M annual growthrate > 40%• Significant power improvements• More and more information available online• Most processors will be on net in the future

Towards layered value chains
Other vertical value chains• Salmon farming• Electricity metering• Railcar tracking• Many providers of GPS tracking• New applications everyday:
• Intelligent manholecovers
Telcos well positioned to provide service• Market need
• Trusted managed service• Reliable infrastructure • Effective billing systems• Easy device interfaces• Easy application interface• Trusted data roaming
• Shift to horizontal layered value chain • Right competence• Cost-effective
• Future network effects beyond comprehension

Conclusions
• The age of connected objects begins • Unknown territory• 10 to 100 objects/person online in the future• Sharing of data across applications• Telcos are positioning themselves
• Many issues to resolve• Key players – Telcos?• Business models• Interface standards• Addressing of objects• Data traffic models• Functionality• Security, trust and privacy• Government roles/regulations
• Significant society impact
