Some folks think that the (large) majority of users will be mobile devices. If that is indeed the case, then one should ask whether the current solution for supporting host mobility (Mobile IP) is viewed as adequate for this scenario. As if not, then enhancing the architecture without taking into account the need to provide an adequate support for a (very) large number of mobile hosts would be rather myopic.
