I agree - one IP to outside world with NAT and a small DHCP function in the
phone assigning a private LAN IP - a rudimentary gateway versus a simple bridge
- iPhone hotspot feature can handle multiple clients (up to 5??) so having a
unique WAN IP dynamically assigned to every client device would quickly swallow
the network provider's block of WAN IP addresses (Verizon, AT&T etc.).
