Not having ipv6 and your website availability tied to some overloaded cgn
at an ISP you have no relationship with .... or your abuse policy just
blocked what you thought was a /24 ... turns out to be verizon nat44 space
for nyc ... and now x million customers can't click "buy now" ....

(hopefully) testing that code, deploying it, training customer support
staff to answer questions, updating documentation, etc. Presumably Netsol
did the cost/benefit analysis and decided the potential increase in revenue

lost in revenue as the vast hordes transfer away) didn't justify the
expense. Simple business decision.
