OK, please start a campaign to "educate" the millions of users who
have net access across the globe.

Alternately, or mandate the vendors of such devices to put such rules
by default into their devices.

This is an opportunity to educate the ISPs about it as well.

Fair enough but how many people do you think are competent to
do so?

Besides, some consumer grade router/modems firewall configs
are a night mare to figure out :(

Sorry, people running their network should damn well know what they are doing. 
Also, as a side note, yes I have seen some ISPs exposing their private networks 
to external, which does not mean they are advertising private networks. But if 
I can traceroute to 192.168.2.x, they ARE advertising.
