The ISPs had a clear interest in killing of NAT which threatened the 
ISP business model.

So this is rather amusing: you're trying to tell me that ISPs wanted to
kill NAT, and I have other people telling me NAT was an intergral part of
ISPs' master plan to take over the universe.

Clearly you all both can't be right.

ISPs were against NATs at first.   It was only later that they embraced
them.


This mess is still the ISP fault.  If they gave users what they wanted, which
is multiple IP addresses, then they wouldn't have to install NAT (I am still
paying $9.95 per month for the privilege of having 4 additional IPv4 addresses
on my Comcast connection).  And that would have accelerated IPv6 deployment.

The firewall issue is orthogonal (which I put the blame on Microsoft sloppy
coding practices).
