Problem with CGNAT is the costs involved in bookkeeping for law enforcement.

Where an IPv4 solution for your clients only needs change-logging on IPbinding-to-client level, the CG-NAT requires you as an ISP to log every outgoing IPv4/port combination with timestamp to client mapping.

Which requires A LOT more storage and much more expensive equipment.

Going rate per IPv4 is up to $40 nowadays, selling of your v4 block might not be cost-efficient.

I own 2048 IPv4’s myself and their value is ever increasing.

I own several /22's, and are renting them out through a broker. So far, 1 months rent (easily) covers the yearly RIR costs, so quite a good margin, and I still own them.

So when time comes, I can sell them, but before that, rent keeps coming in. Just need to make sure they are sold before the market value of an IPv4 crashes to zero.

you just display the price with your local VAT. In the last step, if the user is from a different country AND if you do more than 100k eur revenue for that country/year, you recalculate with the correct user VAT.

And if you are Amazon, you then give the diff as a discount if it was more than advertised.

Walked on it last weekend. No more than 10 ppl were allowed on it at the same time. Guess they are still gathering data
