However, Some municipal systems will issue PUBLIC IPs to each connection, most don't but some do. If that is the case then you don't have any problem as you have a WAN IP! So the answer is, it all depends on the type of IP issued by the "municipal system". If you are connected to them just check and see what type of IP you have, if its in the "Private" ranges 10.x.x.x 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x then you have to get the ports open. If it is a public IP (one not in the private ranges) you can indeed get public access. hope that helps.
