Why must it be always "real" versus NAT? 99% of users don't care one way or another. Would it be so hard for the carrier to provide a switch between NAT and "real" IP if the user needs or wants it?
You're almost always better off not providing a user-accessible switch. Especially not a shiny one labeled "Do not touch unless you know what you are doing". (FWIW, this is exactly the same issue as "block port 25 unless user requests opt-out from the block")
