[arin-ppml] Residential Customers

[Heather Schiller]

If you are referring to SWIP requirements for residential subscribers
(and that ISP's may keep them private) -- don't most mobile
subscribers get dynamically assigned IP's or exist behind a NAT?  In
those cases you wouldn't SWIP to an individual anyway.
