uhm... you asked someone at their kiosks/stores about ipv<anything>??
you are a very, very brave man.

No... the Business technical support via telephone. They knew what I was talking about, but no idea about what VZW's 
plans are for it.

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)
