Now I'm no expert on this particular area but I recall that there are
now several ways to break a system up into "containers" [1] which is
often used to do things like virtualisation. However, would it be
possible to utilize the network "namespace" component [2] in order to
break off a user's mobile broadband connection into a namespace that
only their processes have access to? I'm just bringing this up because
maybe the technology to do what everyone seems to agree "should" be
possible already is in the kernel.
Like I said, I'm no expert but I think I'll read into it out of
curiosity... just wanted to throw it out there for anyone else who
might be curious about looking down this path...

Very cool! Sounds like there is still much more integration needed --
the whole user environment should use such a namespace, and the global
networkmanager can interact with the user namespaces --, but definately
a great step in the right direction. I any work done into moving a user
environment into such a namespace?
