I strongly suspect that Daniel said "connect directly", which is certainly true when an ISP runs out of global IPv4 addresses. > > and this quote: > > "The internet as we know it will no longer be able to grow," > > That's just factually incorrect Today, most users are *not* behind ISP NAT or some other form of global address sharing. A double-NATted Internet is very different from a single-NATted Internet as we know it today. and sensationalistic hype. Whether it is counter-productive depends on whether people simply dismiss it out of hand as "yeah, yeah, just like the world will end at Y2K." > > IPv4 free pool runout simply means connecting to the Internet is going to get > more expensive. No, it means it is going to require double NAT unless providers deploy IPv6. That is the message that needs to be got across.
