They knew what I was talking about, but no idea about what VZW's plans are for it.
yea... so keep in mind that vzw and set(vzb(former mci/uunet) / vzt (the phone company that owns the copper AND also deployed FIOS)) are very, very different things. I think inside vzb/vzt there's some oddness in their planning process for v6, it's completely divorced from the vzw planning. If you want answers about your vzw mifi/phone/tablet you can only ask vzw kiosk/etc people :(
It certainly does not work on the iPad "3" in Ohio. Not only that, but I can't even pay them to give me a stable IPv4 address, because if you get a static IP, it disables the hotspot functionality. Head-->Wall.good times!! mobile carriers live in what seems like a very different world from the one the rest of the internet lives in :(Tell me about it. I would settle for a stable IPv4 address (dynamic is fine, but a "lease" time of something closer to an hour, rather than 2 minutes)
maybe they already did the CGN thing to their network, lots and lots of single IP sharing by port number! look, it's the future! -chris
