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.

Marshall et al,
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.

Last I looked there was plenty of address space.

thousands are probably a bit on the small side - in short order it will

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

connected user or some major subset of them will likely wind up with an
address on their mobile device.
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?

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.
