Nothing is going to change unless there is a real issue by not having ip v6 which will force users to jump to the ISPs which do support it and abandon the ones who don't.
My understanding is that there is a real cost for ISPs to make IP v6 available, but zero need to (upgrade of thousands of pieces of hardware equipment - is that still true?). There is no consequences for not doing so.
- moduspol 9y agoI had read that cellular carriers were pushing to be able to just use IPv6. I know Apple has really emphasized IPv6 compatibility with App Store apps for at least a few years now. That's one of the things I've been watching. Theoretically, the easiest switchover should be consumer iPhones on cellular data networks, because any app released in the last few years should work on them.
