The benefit of recurring revenue from cumulative connection through M2M applications has struck a chord with Chinese MNOs. All three MNOs have taken notice of this lucrative opportunity for alternative revenues alongside their burgeoning mobile subscription market. This revenue stream counters what the M2M cellular module vendors are facing in terms of price pressure and commoditization. Also, with the announcements made from the twelfth economic plan, there are some key policies from the plan that would translate to potential opportunities in the M2M markets in China.
