Re: ARIN Policy on IP-based Web Hosting

Telling your customers they can't telnet, ssh, or VNC into their home
boxes
costs you all your *nix users,
all 0.1% of them.....
and telling them they can't use Napster
costs
you all your Windows users.
Erm, I thought napster worked OK through NAT...
The few Mac users you have left don't keep you profitable. :-)
Isnt it time we differentiated between a home surfer who 99.9% of the
time never needs to access his home machine from outside and in fact
may be happy that others cant access his "always-on" machine, and
those who need a real IP address to host some service or other?
Seems that for the paltry $39/m for a T1 speed cable access, I
shouldn't deserve a dedicated IP address inlcuded.
IMHO,
jon.
