    Because not all users are online at the same time. Think back to the
    days where you had x number of dialup lines for y number of subscribers.
    It might be a 2:1 ratio. Maybe more, depending on how many time zones
    an ISP serves. It's not a huge plus, but once IPv4 content providers
    can see where x% of their web hits are coming from these NAT-PT blocks,
    they might be more motivated to go dual-stack.
