The shortage of IPv4 addresses in developing countries in a red

..or especially when a politically repressive government "encourages"
ISPs to provide addresses through NAT because a) they can control
content access better (by tricks such as transparent DNS proxies on the
NAT box) and b) because makes it more difficult for dissident web site
to pop up right and left.
