The average customer buying a "web-enabled" phone doesn't need a publicly-routeable IP. I challenge anybody to demonstrate why a cell phone needs a public IP. It's a PHONE, not a server.
I'm not buying a phone I can't run ssh from. End of story. My current phone does all that and more. Why step back into the dark ages of analog-type services?

you don't, however, w/o a public IP, IPSec becomes difficult, sometimes impossible, to deploy -- and there are lots of folks who have or might come to have such applications, as the teething problems with IPSec gradually settle out. i just spent a week in IPSec/NAT hell working with a client who was stuck with an Ameritech DSL line. i really don't feel much like listening to songs about the joy of NAT right now (we got the application working, with no thanks due Ameritech.) richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
