But what do U say about people using it at home ....SOHO
One is not going to buy 3 IP's if someone tries to use it at home.
The objective is to make Internet accessible to everybody at the least $ out
of pocket.
We should not forget that.

Subject: Re: Netmeeting - NAT issue
I think you missed the important point. It's not the NAT vendors, it's
the ISPs.
I'll grant that ISPs have something to do with it. But there is a
shortage of IPv4 addresses, so it's not as if anybody can have as
many as they want. And it's not the fact that people are selling
NAT that I find objectionable, it's the fact that they are marketing
them as a general purpose solution - misleading people about their
applicability - rather than a stopgap measure.
