I'm waiting for the person who knows the mobile hotspot's password to 
come back so I can get the actual addresses.

I thought that with lots of ipv6 addresses available I would be able to 
communicate to a mobile device without setting up a Linux tunneling 
machine to access the device.  Apparently not.  Now we have to pay $500 
to get ipv4 static addresses.  Not such a big deal, but I thought that 
ipv6 should be able to do it without having to pay for statics or to tunnel.

I think a lot of questions involving ip addresses have to do with 
developing nations.  It's like global warming.  If every nation on Earth 
used ips the way we do in the US or used energy like we do, it would be 
the end of the world.
