This is incorrect... All ISP except Cable Operators provide Public IP Addresses to their subscribers from dynamic IP Pool, including Dial-up users, DSL Users.
I apologize, I fail to understand this.
If I connect through a dial-up (considering MTNL's 172231, the IP address assigned to my computer is something from the pool of 202.159.x.x or 203.94.x.x or might vary. Agreed
If I have a Cable Operator's internet connection, I connect through a private IP. Agreed. Net4India, in my area provides internet connections and subscribers have IP of the range 172.16.x.x
BUT, I have MTNL's triband now. My IP was automatically assigned initially as 192.168.1.2 (using DHCP) and was changed for some odd reasons a few weeks before to the format of 192.168.x.x.
How do I consider 192.168.x.x under public IP if 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x are private IP ranges?
