   That was part of my point. At that time in the mid-1990s, sysadmins generally thought that capitalism needed those who actually understood how the Internet worked.

   As you say, it turns out we had no power at all against both the rents you mention and how excessive use of NAT turned the Internet into a primarily broadcast medium rather than an egalitarian one we all arrogantly assumed couldn't be coopted.
