    surprising there’s no china, with billions of connected devices. Maybe you don’t need many public ipv4 when you run a country-wide LAN with limited internet access

      Country-wide LAN

      That is, by definition, a WAN.

          I’ve heard a couple of folks trying to get traction on NAN (National Area Network) or NWN (Nation Wide Network), but so far no luck.

        Now I wonder if the network of Vatican City is considered a WAN. Because there are likely companies with LANs larger than that.

          This document suggests that some of our home labs might be bigger than Vatican City’s telecom network. (note: attempt at humor)

          I’ve found a couple of articles ostensibly about Vatican City’s telecom network, but they appear to be information-free AI clickbait articles.
