… The only way to rapidly accelerate the uptake of IPv6 is for networks is to either offer better rates for v6 transit, or disable v4 connectivity completely. This is a false dichotomy: those aren’t the only two options, nor the best two options. The best option is what is happening right now: you can’t get new IPv4 addresses, so you have to either buy them, or use IPv6. The free market is solving the problem right now. Another solution isn’t needed. For example, Amazon is charging $0.005 per IPv4 per hour, which is a perfect. AWS users can either choose to use IPv4 at that rate, or choose to use IPv6 at $0.000 per hour. And Azure is basically doing the same thing. See https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/ip-addresses/ and https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/updates/azure-public-ipv6-offerings-are-free-as-of-july-31/ So just sit back and watch the world re-address to IPv6. It’s not a race. Tom
