In fact, why not make the tutorial oriented towards operators, and be one 
of designing and providing service for mobile users (no matter what media 
are used)?

In reality, most or all of the "service" that results is run on the 
end-points, but ISPs can help greatly by providing documentation and, 
sometimes, software to support this.  They also can learn what mechanisms 
provide real security and what mechanisms do not.
