You don't have to be rich to get public IPs, thanks in part to CIDR
delegation rules. A lot of Irish ISPs will easily give you public
IPs. I got a /26 from IBB a while ago for a (then) one time fee of
200 euro.
I don't intend ever going back to using NAT, since I like being able to
setup aa random machine I'm using for something so I can ssh into it
externally.
