The current generation of cldc based phones do not have the resources to
support rmi. Being able to support rmi would be a first step to integrating
cldc devices in the jini infrastructure.
That being said, there have been recent announcements from the jini people
about a lightweight protocol. I've not looked closely at these new
developments. Probably hear more about this at JavaOne.
I've not answered your question. Sorry about that.

I agree, to some extent... the degree of control that the carriers exercise
over the networks, and the manner in which they 'differentiate' themselves,
makes me question how practical such developments would be.
