My college didn't have internet campus wise, you had access to a limited, firewalled internet "protected" by Fortinet so i can't feel empathy for the MIT alumni since you can perfectly work without those tools.
In the age of AWS, maybe it's time the elites see how the other half lives?
MIT by holding one to class A address block for so long have sets a bad example. Much of the 16million address owned by them are never really used. How many other universities have access to this kind of wasted luxury ? Standford returned theirs back ages years ago.
Sure IPv6 was inevitable but if ford, MIT and rest had not been so greedy the rest of the world would have not grown up beind a NATed internet. I share an ip with 1000's of others, every third google search throws up a captcha..
