"It really annoys me that this side of the industry doesn't get more exposure!" If only more self-proclaimed "geeks" who purport to care about the future of the internet understood the value of a publicly reachable IP address. If more folks besides the big players had these, then the potential for reaching a holy grail of "decentralization" and "end-to-end", and all the wonderful things that would make possible, would be much greater. Instead, these "geeks" are led to believe that hyped workarounds like "the cloud", "webRTC", "IPv6", etc. will save the day. None of these workarounds should be necessary if you "own" a small block of public IP addresses. How does the price of these "IPs for sale" compare with what you pay AWS for an IP address you do not use?
