[Bloat] ipv6 with telephone number mapping

What's the real barrier to doing this nowadays? We use signal in this

"There should be an automatic mapping from cellular numbers to IPV6
addresses so you can run a directly accessible server on any cell
phone."

Without root, phones make really frustrating servers.

Do/can phones have provider-independent addresses? Do we need root to 
assign one?

Agreed.

No, they mostly don't.
But, running an overlay like LISP makes sense.
QUIC can then be used to remove the latency from the overlay.
(Or SHIM6 is that could be rebooted)

Wouldn't that be a huge privacy/security/spam problem ?

If you can reach a phone over the Internet just based on knowing a 
phone-number... probably has more problems than solutions.

Definitely would like one of the existing or even a new DNS VoIP 
standards to be properly adopted so people have more control of their 
own numbers.
