I think the simplest change that would accomplish this would be to add "or
mobile" to the second paragraph of 4.2.3.7.3.1.  It would then read:

Using SWIP or RWhois, residential or mobile access ISPs must show that they
have reassigned at least 80% of their current address space, with a 50 to
80% utilization rate, in order to request additional addresses.

I don't think the first paragraph needs to change, because the "Initial
allocations are based on total number of homes that could purchase the
service in a given market area" text would not seem to apply to mobile
technology.

Is that what you're looking for?  If so, feel free to submit it as a
proposal to policy at arin.net.  I'll be happy to assist in any way I can.

I'm sure such a change will prompt lots of discussion, and I think a
concrete policy proposal will help frame that discussion.
