   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...
