Seems to me that the only people who get static, wireless, IP addresses are people who put sensors on vehicles and IoT applications. Who gets a static IP for a phone? This might cause some serious heartburn for my previous employer - who built CAD systems for transit buses.

With how much memory and processing power any modern internet-connected device has, plus the ever ubiquitous cloud, I don't understand why IoT, especially non-consumer-grade IoT, should have any need for public IPv4 addresses. Even if you have a very legacy app, and IPsec is too complex for your needs, doing an SSH session with OpenSSH and its port forwarding feature is just too simple to pass up. http://mdoc.su/o/ssh.1 I mean, come on, if malware vendors have no need for public IP addresses to take control of your IoT and perform C&C, you're clearly doing something wrong if your own shit doesn't work without it.
