In fact, why not make the tutorial oriented towards operators, and be one
of designing and providing service for mobile users (no matter what media
are used)?
In reality, most or all of the "service" that results is run on the
end-points, but ISPs can help greatly by providing documentation and,
sometimes, software to support this. They also can learn what mechanisms
provide real security and what mechanisms do not.
