Large ISPs doing NAT?

Marshall et al,

It's a lack of IP Address Space - and the numbers I gave - 10's of 
thousands are probably a bit on the small side - in short order it will 
be multiples of 100,000 IP addresses.  To start with, I'm willing to 
think in terms of 10's of thousands spread over a handful of "POPs".

The application is GPRS (aka 2.5/3G cellular) and each Internet 
connected user or some major subset of them will likely wind up with an 
address on their mobile device.
