Hello, It is not the value, motivating use of CGNs. It is the depletion of IPV4. When you don't have enough IPs, to serve your customers, you will do any possible technical solutions, like using CGNs. Although I do agree with you that commercial companies are seeing it as you mentioned.

If a company decides to put their customers behind CGN and free some part of their allocations / assignments, they should return free address space to RIRs, so they can fulfill other requests.
If this is the case, then the customers will not be put behind CGN because the business case of putting them behind CGN isn't there anymore. The customers are only put behind CGN because iPv4 addresses have value. You're saying they have no value, thus there is no driver to sell them, thus no reason to put customers behind CGN (prematurely). -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
