If this is true then we have another example of how the cellular architecture creates scarcity by forcing us back into 
the circuit model thus losing the benefits of best efforts and sharing. Sort of like having to dial up again for each 
web page.
I'd like to hear from those with technical expertise about how the various protocols are actually implemented. It would 
make a lot more sense to allocate the resources on demand and cede them for idle periods and reacquire them. This is 
very different from running PPP over a dedicated circuit.  One can still hold the IP address though they latency might 
vary.
