That should be no surprise. The Intenet has de facto run out of IPv4 adresses ten years ago. For years I have been saying that DS-Lite is unavoidable in the long run. There just aren't enough IPv4 adresses left for everyone and so we will reach a point where "normal" users will not get an IPv4 address all for themselves. IPv4 adresses will only be available for those demonstrating teh need for them. An effective way to demenostrate need is willingness to pay for it...

We - sysops of an amateur network - will have to learn to do without a globaly routable IPv4 address. I have demonstrated that we can. I published my findings in Fidonews.
