As a content company who owns ISPs, I would LOVE NATs.
Why? Keeps P2P like BitTorrent, soulseek, gnutella, and newer protocols crippled. And content creators don't want people consuming content other than through themselves.
And a NAT can also differentiate between "consumer household" and "business" - do you get a real IP or not?
It's also why companies like Comcast zero-rate their own content.
