Please somebody correct me..Can't a provider simply NAT the IPv4 at his gateway, and stream IPv6 to as many wireless customers as he can lock into a painful long-term contract? (just kidding!) The demand for /8's won't change any, and you can IPv6 and eat your cake too. I do understand the v4 to v6 NAT'ing may be an issue... -----Original Message----- From: Daryl G.

The reference to 70% of people in Europe having a web enabled phone made me laugh too... although I guess it could be true - my last 3 mobile phones have all had WAP capability, but I don't know of anyone that actually uses this feature.

I actually use mine. But it's behind a proxy, as I suspect nearly every other provder's WAP gateway is. Daryl Jurbala
