Instead we see "carrier grade NAT" and I end up with IP addresses like 10.X.X.X on some of my cellular devices...

'If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.' -- Henry Ford

Henry Ford didn't actually say that, though it was in line with his thinking, perhaps.

The article didn't say Ford didn't say the phrase but that there's no evidence Ford ever said that. So, the truth is (as with many historical things) that no one really knows the truth.

Stackexchange already did that line of thinking (and cite this article). Enlightening comments. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/37637/did-henry...

A mix of the two seems more likely -- ipv6-only to the device, with nat64/dns64 used to handle ipv4 traffic.

T-Mobile has been ipv6-only for devices supporting 464xlat since 2014.
