I'm probably going to regret this but... what's the obsession with have
so many public IP addresses? Will a smaller address space and NAT not
work in a lot of cases?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to IPv6 or anything
(http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/6Bone/Whois/BROADCOM.html)
but aren't a couple of IP addresses sufficient for most
small-medium sized companies
