Another LTE network turns up as IPv4-only squat space + NAT

I disagree.  I see it as an extra layer of security.  If DOD had a network
with address space 'X', obviously it's not advertised to the outside.  It
never interacts with public network.  Having it duplicated on the outside
world adds an extra layer of complexity to a hacker trying to access it.
It's not a be-all/end-all, but it's a plus.  A hacker who's partially in the
network may try to access network 'X', but it routes to the outside world,
tripping IDSs...

Even if they did OK it (which i doubt), actually using it - especially in a
public/customer facing / visible deployment - is a Bad Idea.
*Traceability fail and possibly creating unreachable networks out there ...*
