As the related technologies of the Internet of Things become more and more mature and the standardization degree is increasing, the Machine-to-Man and Machine-to-Machine will play a key role in the future. Telecom operators, as an important promoter of the Internet of Things industry, should seize the opportunity, maximize the value under the era of the Internet of Things, and maintain sustainable development.

Thus, the predicament faced by current telecom operators will be resolved.
