You think that's big news, wait until you get a load of this!

No way. I'm accustomed to this decadent lifestyle of flamboyant disregard of the IP shortage. I don't have the heart to tell my cat he can't have 7 public IP addresses anymore.

Not particularly much at all. Some percent of the city's apartment buildings are owned by the municipality. The part of the rent that doesn't go to maintaining said buildings goes towards building infrastructure.
