Which "practical deployments" are we talking about?

While proxies are widely used today to facilitate inter-domain
roaming, as far as I know, the combination of inter-domain roaming
and EAP is very rare.

While EAP-based technologies such as WiMAX may change the
situation, as I understand it, the use of EAP today is largely confined
to enterprise scenarios.    For example, the vast majority of all
IEEE 802.11 hotspot deployments use Web-based access (e.g. UAM), not EAP.

In terms of major EAP deployments that support inter-domain roaming
with substantial usage, one deployment (EDUROAM) is several orders of
magnitude larger than any other that I am aware of.

As far as I know, EDUROAM does not use Diameter nor are there any
major deployments of Diameter EAP.

Am I missing something, or are there really any "practical experience" 
here?
