Yes, as mobile Internet usage becomes more and more like fixed Internet
usage, mobile operators are going to have to look more and more to
solutions that look more like those of the fixed operators (lower IPv4 CGN
compression ratios and native IPv6 to name a couple).

Yes, mobile data usage is growing, but the delta is still massive between
what people do online at home and on the go. Specific to video, Nielson
reports that the average user watches 27 minutes a month of video online
at home and only 7 minutes a month on mobile.

So mobile's still about 4x shy (on average) in time and don't forget that
many apps are "optimized" for mobile viewing, giving the user less ports,
lower bit-rates, etcŠ
