That is one of the effects of free markets. If a resource depletes, prices go up. But mainly I expect that overall usage and cascading depth of NATs is going to increase and it may result in DSL offerings where you no longer get a real IP, at which point you no longer have to option to host at least one service under a well-known port (forwarded from the NAT on your DSL router). -Martin PS: I like this one http://www.explainxkcd.com/2010/05/19/campfire/ _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
