No. it's the world's biggest NAT, and NAT *breaks the end-to-end
model of IP*.
Well, there is a big difference between WAP's breaking the e2e model
and i-mode. WAP does an application gateway and uses no Internet
protocols. At least, i-mode is using IP, TCP, HTTP, etc.
Accusing them of breaking it, then puts the vast majority of subnets
connected to the Internet into the same category. What's your
point? It hardly seems appropriate to put i-mode and WAP in the same
category.
