South of the river, guv?

No apologies: the title will only make sense to Londoners. But I've got in my sticky paws a quote titled "QUOTATION FOR MAPPED PUBLIC IP ADDRESS" for our conference telesales office in Borough High Street.

It's gonna cost ya. Oh yes.

Going from a NAT'd private IP address to a public one: £75 (about US$140).

Of course, as any good network neutrality advocate will tell you, this clearly should be an illegal form of price discrimination against server classes of application, which are blocked by default.

But I don't think you'll be wantin' to go there, guv, not at this time of night.
