It's a 1 in 3 mapping if you count heads, I guess devices is 1 on 5 :)  
If you think this won't raise any issues I guess the world in general  
doesn't have a problem, we can simply extend the IPv4 space by a  
multiple of 5 :P

Even if open ports wouldn't be an issue, think of:

- inbound connections (people using VOIP)
- VPN to connect back home (meeting is still providing fixed IP for  
that purpose)
- CPU load
- traceability (Pentagon got hacked by somebody at RIPE-XX)

Groet,
