I don't understand why it won't work(OK My network knowledge is dead as dodo but) if one connection can be NATed wonder why not all of them. It works behind proxies and firewall as I am doing in my company. Why can't it work for a City ISP.(OK willpower to do that is excluded as objection. That's not technical..) OTOH it would lead to local services that will not need public IP. Say I want to run a food delivery rental service in Pune, I don't need to expose it to world(Unless I open franchise). I can run it off cheap cable network and home PC. Think it as a biig lan for a city or so... I really wonder if it's good use of public ips given that majority of machines in that area are going to be client side. Just a thought..
