- JoshTriplett 11y ago> Now that ARIN's run dry, it's gotten more difficult to start a proper ISP. Only if you want static IPv4 addresses. And even then, they aren't impossible to come by.
- p1mrx 11y agoDynamic addressing only helps if the maximum number of simultaneous users is significantly less than the total number of subscribers. When you're connecting houses, that's generally not the case.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoYou don't need to hand out routable IPs at all. NAT should support roughly 64k simultaneous connections (not users) per IP.
