First, consider that the 3 major cell carriers in the usa each have 100 million customers. Also, consider they all now have a home broadband angle. Where do 100 million ipv4 addresses come from? Not rfc 1918, not arin, … and we are just talking about customer ip addresses, not considering towers, backend systems, call centers, retail ….
Are you saying mobile terminals must be identified by IP addresses?
Nodes in an ip network require ip addresses. 4G and 5G are ip networks for both voice and data. I do not believe it is either technically nor economically feasible to run a 4g or 5g network without an ip address on the ue.
