It depends on what you are trying to achieve (i.e. if it is for a report, workflows, or something else).

Can you be more specific about what your module is doing ?

it's for reporting, this module is aeroo_reports.

The netsvc.Service._services dictionnary (at least for reports) is openerp.report.interface.report_int._reports.

But really you should not directly access that dictionnary, nor use it in the future: reports should be registered in the database (like ir.actions.report.xml) and rendering them should make a lookup in the database. (That is, the report instances inside that dictionnary shoul be created on-the-fly, when a new rendering is needed).

More generaly the Service concept was unneccessay. If you have an addons, say `addons_a` and it is a dependency of `addons_b`, you can access it with openerp.addons.addons_a. Or if the service was provided by the framework, you can acces it somewhere inside the openerp library.
