Hello,

I would like to know if any service providers have built their access
networks out using private IP space.  It certainly would benefit the
global IP pool but it may adversely affect users with special
applications.  At any rate, it sounds like good fodder for a debate.

I do know of a fairly big Italian ISP who's using that kind of setup, afair. It's www.fastweb.it
Their users are having big troubles connecting to IRCnet, that's why they wanted to link their own Server. That's one of the disadvantages of that kind of setup.

regards,
