This is a bit of a disturbing article. It talks about NAT from
the point of view of the service provider only; it fails to
mention the benefits to its users.

At least it doesn't suggest I should stop using NAT to share
my cable modem connection within my house. Only that I shouldn't
share it with you lot via wireless.
