All of this in reply to a 3G network though. I've not yet seen any 3G provider actually provide a non-rfc1918 internal IP which is not NATed to the Internet.. Unless you actually pay for that function. Thereby rendering most of this thread moot :)
That is until mobile provides actually bother to implement IPv6 on their subscriber networks

4G AKA LTE is going to be pretty much IPv6 everywhere. While technically this isn't 3G, I think that most users don't care much about the difference, in both cases it's just mobile net access. Also rumor has it that Telstra LTE is giving better performance than expected due to the lack of users...
Rumour also has it that Telstra has pinched some 3G spectrum for use on its 4G network. We have some customers in Bendigo CBD where Telstra 3G is effectively useless since 4G trials started (Optus works fine), so the rumour would be one explanation for that... james
