I don't know about you, but it scares me to read the various forecasts
about how wireless will transform the landscape over the next few
years. E.g., more wireless phones with internet connectivity than
PCs. The numbers are just staggering and the associated demand for
addresses will be astonishing. We ain't seen nothing yet.

It seems to be a given now that 3G phones will be IPv6 (at least outside the U.S.) when they roll out over the next few years. But we should make people clearly aware of what to expect when they NAT their way back to the IPv4 Internet or IPv4 intranets. That is one of the purposes of this draft. (oh yeah, this thread is supposed to be about contributing to the draft in the subject line)
