I clearly meant 192.168.1.1 to go to Keith Moore, but the terribly gmail

And before people start bringing up all the reasons I am
wrong here, first consider the fact that for many years it was IETF
ideology that NATs were a

looking to collect fees
on a per device basis rather than per connection.
You are weakening your argument. NATs still are a terrible thing that
need to be killed.
There is an argument in the above? I read just a misguided opinion with
no facts.
They break applications and prevent many useful applications from being
used on
the Internet. That much is more widely understood now than it was 10-15
years ago.
It was always understood by the engineers. It's the money making machine
that did not care.
I think that at this point you are the only person still making the
argument that the world should reject the easy fix for IPv4 address
exhaustion that solves their problems
at negligible cost to them for the sake of forcing them to make a
transition that would be very difficult, expensive and impact every part of
the infrastructure.
I suggest Phillip is rewarded with a staticly configured 192.168.1.1
address for life on _all_ of his devices.
Most folk here value consensus. I do not value consensus when it is
wrong.
Nor do I.
Indeed.
