The unprecedented proliferation of wireless networking services and products has taken the notion of hotspots a step further to accommodate "mobile hotspots". The deployment of hotspots in trains, ships, planes, buses etc. would certainly change the way we travel. In this article we will first discuss the reasons as to why the current host mobility protocols such as MIPv6 are inadequate to handle the mobility of an entire network. We will then present an overview of the current standard protocol, NEMO Basic Support protocol that was designed to handle the mobility of networks. By way of network mobility scenarios, shortcomings of this protocol that need to be addressed for network mobility to be a truly ubiquitous experience will be identified. Some solutions that have been proposed and implemented in order to handle the identified issues will be presented. Further we present a bandwidth fueling architecture for mobile networks which addresses the challenge of providing continuous high-performance service over wireless networks at a reasonable cost.
