The striking thing I picked up is that NTT considers the CGN equipment a big black hole where money goes into. Because 
it won't solve their problem now or in the future and it becomes effectively a piece of equipment they need to buy and 
then scrap "soon" after.

They acknowledge the need, but they'd rather not buy one.
That and they (the isp) get called for anything which doesn't work.
