Can you explain how / why it is different?  There is demand and there
is capacity.  From an IP addressing perspective, aggregation happens
in mobile networks at the metro area (NFL city). People in the same
metro are generally managed in the same capacity pool.

Speaking from my own deployment, i can tell you mobile networks are
aggregated in NFL cities to nodes known as a GGSN.   The GGSN
aggregates up all the L2 data traffic from the cell sites.  The GGSN
is, AFAIK, very similar to a CMTS or BRAS.

So, as i said before, i think they are more the same than they are
different.  If you can provide me details on how they are different, i
would be interested to know  ... and how that impacts policy.
