Abstract :
If the Internet were a ship at sea, the voyage would begin under clear skies and strong winds - through surging tides, the ship´s course would be steadfast, with no evidence for alarm. But now a storm approaches, indefatigable in its task to vitiate the Internet. The storm utilizes next-generation Internet (NGI) to proliferate vulnerabilities in mobile wireless communications. An unsafe environment is the eye of the storm. A complete redesign of the Internet Protocol (IP) has already begun, making NGI invariably in- tricate, yet meant for the long term.
