that's not a perk... that's a business plan... they do not want you to have
NAT in the first place... they want to charge for each device connected to the
network and then rate plan them...

i don't see that happening... i see IPv6 taking a bit longer to be implemented
but it is coming... they want more $$$ and IPv6 will give that to them if they
are allowed to bill for each device connected... most folks aren't aware of
how much they are being ripped off every day in so many ways...
