fixed, permanent connectivity with static address is preferred than
dialups, however:
- there are cases where dialup is really necessary - like travelling
notebooks.
- there are needs for automating customer device configuration.
so, a protocol for assigning prefix to customer would be nice.
the topic is under discussion at IETF ipngwg.
