However, if we do need host granularity, then I think you need about 3 orders of magnitude more scale, and pure push approaches simply won't get you there.Yes, but I would say two orders of magnitude - 10^10 as an outside limit.
Not to quibble, but... 10^10 is only 10 billion. We're about to add 6 billion cell phones to the net, and the thought of every human having on average 2 devices within 50 years doesn't seem like it's impossible.
