As I understand it, 3G devices were assigned a unique public IP. 4G devices on the same tower, however, share a public IP and VZW uses NAT (so the device actually has a 10.x.x.x private IP). This causes some people issues - for example http://www.evdoforums.com/thread14544.html I'm just trying to understand if, and how, this affects tor usage. Does it enhance the privacy aspect (because it's tough to pinpoint the actual device the end-point traffic is going to), or does it degrade it (because VZW presumably have NAT/Firewall logs that could be used)?
