Today’s 3G/4G networks already support TCP/IP connectivity. Therefore it’s easy to run NDN over TCP/IP over LTE/WCDMA/etc. 2G is quite different and I don’t know if it’s possible to run a TCP tunnel over 2G directly from a mobile device.

If you’re talking about running NDN natively over cellular, I think that’s non-trivial because the TCP/IP stack is baked into the 3G/4G standards. Just like it’s non-trivial to change today’s Internet to run native NDN without IP.

We have initial version of NFD ported on android (as of right now, you would need to compile from source https://github.com/named-data/NFD-android, but we plan to publish compiled version too) and there are a few apps that use NDN protocol and NFD-android to communicate.
