Right, attempt two, I think I may have misinterpreted what you said. The above response relates to client behaviour for hidden services. Am I correct in saying that you actually mean hosting the hidden service from a mobile device? If so, then yes. When I implemented the deterministic selection of introduction points, I had to implement a reconnection mechanism to ensure that the introduction point would only be changed if it had failed, and not in the case of intermittent network issues (the degree to which I have actually done this might vary).
