OTOH, Verizon is not the only provider of smartphone connectivity in the
world. Most of them try to be "good citizens" and do not waste a scarce
resource (IPv4 space).
If more providers would act like Verizon, we would have run out of IPv4
addresses a long time ago (whether or not that is a good or bad thing is
left as an exercise to the reader).
