	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.

	you may want to check the following:

	(there are other proposals exist)
