There must be at least a few hundred million mobile phones with data

You do it in the endpoint.  The original poster should look at all the
work already being done in IETF WGs (and elsewhere), e.g. 6man and
mif, intarea and tsvwg

In other words, it's not a solved problem, and though there's wide recognition 
that the problem exists, nobody really has found a good solution.  

(Though mtcp strikes me as having broader applicability than most.)
