Kind of a weird thought, but wouldnt a uni benefit from holding so many IP forcing people to use NAT. Then the offer classes and provide degrees in networking to deal with NAT…
Universities were the first organizations to be allocated those IP blocks. I’m sure there are a few holding on to some /8 networks and either they’ll never give them up (much like their endowment funds) or they will sell them off once they realize how valuable they can be.
My uni has at least 3 /16 blocks, which is about 200k IPv4s.
This means my Uni has more IPv4s than almost half of all UN recognized nations on earth.
