I'll Bcc the presenter as the presentation did not turn up in a 
search.  That discussion might be interesting. :-)

There is a cost to consumers when their devices are made obsolete.  I 
doubt that they would be interested in hearing about SNA or DECnet 
if/when that happens.

Ok.

There is where it will be argued that CGNAT is the way to go.  My 
guess is that it is probably not the objective you which to attain.
