Howard,
I seem to remember @home trying to base their network on RFC 1918
addressing, and then petitioning for a Class "A" after they ran into
problems with users that were trying to play games across the Internet. It
seems that many games rely on a unique IP address to identify users. Does
this sound familiar to you?

Subject: Re: NAT for ISPs
Current IP address allocation from ARIN assumes that ISPs will use
private addressing and NAT for single-homed customers. They are
reasonable about exceptions, such as protocols that won't work
through NAT, but the exceptions need to be justified for the ISP to
continue getting address space.
If the customer is multihomed to more than one ISP, the requirements
for coordinating NATs among them are accepted to be impossible.
Multihoming alone, however, does not justify provider-independent
address space.
