That's because you missed (or misread) the bit which said:-

    "Carrier grade NAT will make tracking users by IPv4 address very 
difficult to do."

To me, this makes no sense:-

There are many (legitimate) reasons why a spotter's country and IP address 
might not provide a match. There are also legitimate reasons why a *cluster* 
country and IP address might not match ....

Bottom line is that this is not black and white; only very gray. The answer 
is the same now as it always has been: local management of users and the 
issues they create.
