"M2M has existed in different forms since the advent of computer networking automation[CCSD 1] and predates cellular communication. It has been referred to as "telemetry", "industrial" "automation", "scada"."
It's not new, it's ancient history.

Smartphones are getting to be more and more trekky as time passes. In 20 years they may even be tri-corders. In 100 years they may teleport us to Paris for dinner.
M2M sounds great, on paper. the problems start during implementation, trade-offs are made to save power, to save costs or something else. it we are planing on using our Phones which have limited security to open something else then phones become a more valuable target for attacks. we need to plan for security as the foundation for M2M. Security must also allow for "Improvements" to the protocol. we don't want to redesign after 3 years.
really want to have your home controls accessible via the Internet for anything unless it's via a VERY secure process. Otherwise the burglars would just log in and unlock the doors as they turn off the alarms on you.
Computer controlled housing has been around for over a decade, as has telemetry, M2M is just a new buzzword to try and sell it for more.
The other problem is controlling this stuff over the Internet will cost people a fortune as in most of the world you pay for every MB of upload and download.

I recall seeing early systems in US magazines in the late 70's. Ancient history almost.
Remember one particular article about someone who had gone to town on security back then and forgot his keys one day. Took him and his neighbour most of a day to get past it all. And he knew how it worked!

Most of the home management and entertainment can be done now...it's just an integration nightmare and a handful of apps for each specific task. Be it security systems, home lights, appliances, energy consumption monitoring, energy generation monitoring, home music and video streaming anywhere in the house, infrared devices, wifi devices, etc...each one requires particular hardware and software to be "integrated" by means of scripts and specialized software. Add in "automatic updates" and the system breaks and needs to "pampered again".
Then throw in the various phones and you end up with about 6 different apps just to control everything.
Need well adopted standards!

that this type of integration will occur almost everywhere else in the connected world before it becomes practical in the US. Our laissez faire, pro-competition approach to technology implementation means we'll have to wait for all vendors involved to agree to standards. Odds are whatever standards US vendors agree on will be different from what the rest of the world has already implemented.
m2m is significaly usable in healthcare in my opinion will play more important role more then elsewhere. it's not only because of easy monitoring but because of smart grid these sensors can create. At the moment some researches says that there are already 2.8 million patients monitored today!! http://www.m2mnow.biz/2013/01/15/9645-berg-insight-says-2-8-million-patients-are-remotely-monitored-today/ i think we are at the very bottom of the exponential growth in the next 3- 5 years
Because it sounds new and cool, and billions of sheeple will rush out and buy a new phone to get it.
