Actually, there is talk of doing just that. GPS devices have a unique
identifier already, so it would be no issue to link that number statically
with an IP v.6 addy, or dynamically with IP v.4. Either way, it would only
be worthwhile in a Laptop or PDA devices (or other web enabled devices).
The practiclal applications seem limited though.
