Marshall et al, It's a lack of IP Address Space - and the numbers I gave - 10's of thousands are probably a bit on the small side - in short order it will be multiples of 100,000 IP addresses. To start with, I'm willing to think in terms of 10's of thousands spread over a handful of "POPs". The application is GPRS (aka 2.5/3G cellular) and each Internet connected user or some major subset of them will likely wind up with an address on their mobile device. - JB

Dear JB; 1.) Dare I suggest that you use IPv6 ? It should make a great NAT. 2.) If you are interested in having content put on your wireless devices I would like to talk off line. Regards Marshall Eubanks

Last I looked there was plenty of address space.

All you need do is document usage according to your RIR's allocation policies and you'll get the address space you justify.

There have already been numerous discussions between the RIRs and the GSM association(s) regarding address allocations for GPRS. Have you asked your RIR about this? Rgds, -drc

That's a small quantity. Just fill our your RIR's form, and if you need the space, you'll get it. There's no lack. -Bill
