There's a satellite ISP in the UK which does this - it's called either Hughes or StreamBeam, I'm not sure which is the end provider and which is the sub-carrier. The equipment they provide is labelled Hughes. As a standard account you get private (10.x.y.z) addresses on the end of the link, however you can ask for public-private NAT and they do SNAT/DNAT to your private addresses (one-to-one mapping). I thought I'd heard that some ADSL services in UK provide private addresses too, but I've never had this, so I can't comment from personal experience. Antony.
