Amazon owns more than $2B worth of IPv4 addresses

Sadly this means that the poorer countries give the same IP to multiple users. I’ve received a “you’re doing that too much” error after the first google search of the day on my phone in South East Asia. I don’t remember which country

That's not exclusive to poorer countries. Cellular carriers in first world countries aren't assigning a public IPv4 address to every cell phone.

I've never really considered this before but it's interesting. Does this happen randomly or is there some geographic/tower based IP sharing?

My guess is that providers allow higher rate limits on developed country ISP IPs for this reason.

I’ve had that happen in Europe so I don’t think it’s just poor countries doing that.

My buddy living in the country side here in Norway switched ISP and ended up behind carrier-grade NAT.

Speed is so much better with new ISP though so he just set up Wireguard to the VPS server he rents to get "his own" IP.
