Oops.  Forgot the smiley.

My point being that large numbers of people really do want out of the
Internet that which end-to-end addressing can give them, even if they
are clueless about how things work to get what they want.

Test market a dialup service at a reduced rate that gives people a
private space address behind a proxy server.  See how many people
sign up.  IMHO, it won't be all that many.
