While not disagreeing in principle, I'd like to note that there is
tremendous utility in using a dynamically assigned IP address from the
wireless provider and setting up IPSEC tunneling associations
authenticated by user identity. In this way, a laptop can be mobile
throughout a large wireless service structure and maintain secure
connections without the necessity for level 3 handoffs.
