From the article:"Faced with the shortage of IPv4 addresses and the failure of IPv6 to take off, British ISP PlusNet is testing carrier-grade network address translation CG-NAT, where potentially all the ISP's customers could be sharing one IP address, through a gateway. The move is controversial as it could make some Internet services fail, but PlusNet says it is inevitable, and only a test at this stage."
I would hope that PlusNet has valid, well-thought-out reasons for deploying CGN instead of IPv6. Not knowing those, I can only jugde their position on its face: foolish and short-sighted.
