And in the same way how do you tackle the problem of getting media from one end to the other when both are NAT'ed? Not everyone knows how to or wants to configure port forwarding on their NAT box just for this.
Skype (I think) handles it by using another non-NAT'ed Skype user as a trusted intermediary, both ends open their media to this middleman who patches the streams together.
There is a market for boxes that do a similar thing, and on these boxes you can get other services, and even monitor packet usage for individual users and charge accordingly.
