One interesting point here is: Despite the late start of the mobile 
network people, we have some user equipment at the moment.

LTE/UMTS-modems(usb/mPCIe) - no firewall issue - because it is 
exclusively done / not done by the OS of the connected device (e.g. 
Notebook)

LTE/UMTS - router, my focus is on the mobile things here: I never have 
seen firewall settings for IPv6, only a lot of mostly obsolete IPv4-features

LTE-router for DSL-replacement may be better here, but I don't know

Some phones are able to share IPv6-connections (tethering, 
hotspot-mode): Do they provide a firewall? Is it useful?

Can anybody test it? I can't because there is a big firewall by the ISP.
