On address shortage, NAT, private addressing/non-routable, etc. IPV4 vs. IPV6 vs. IPV7.......

We hear these same arguements, again and again. NAT has
saved the Internet from address shortage, despite the wasteful practices of address allocation. (non-CIDR). You
gave the 192.168.x.y example of private addresses. Of course, the entire AT&T NET for customers uses NET 10.x.y.z
and that is also non-routable. Aliasing works well. There
are limitations with NAT, for example end-to-end encryption
as a clear example. An alternative is RSIP, Realm Specific
IP may overcome the NAT problems and move the allocation
of routable-address allocation to the Application Layer. This is an IETF activity and is in draft stage.

I agree with you--a private ip address for every human to roam the earth forever, like a SSNumber, ain't gonna happen
