It is the standardization across organizations that is so important.
You are right in that there is nothing much to web services in the same way
that their is nothing much to any design pattern. That is the magic of
design patterns like interface/driver (which is what web services is) is
that there is nothing much there but they allow so much.

No, they don't. Web services don't open up any new channels because
there's nothing new about web services, aside from a bit of
standarization. It makes some things easier and cleaner, but offers
nothing new of any substance.
