[asterisk-users] Asterisk and 4G

Hello, I've started to do some research into the new 4G wireless  
standard, and there's one part of the standard that intrigues me.   
Apparently all data is packet based, including the phone calls.  Every  
phone will have its own IPv6 address.  This seems to pave the way for  
a call to go directly from a cell phone to a soft PBX like Asterisk.   
Is this possible under the 4G spec?  If so, what protocol will these  
4G phones use for signaling and media?  It would be a dream come true  
for a cell phone call to go straight to Asterisk and not touch the  
PSTN as part of the core spec of the phone, without the aid of a 3rd  
party VOIP app.

Any thoughts on the 4G spec and its influence on the future of  
Asterisk dev?

Thanks,
Chris
