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.
