I for one find clean slate tech approach adopted by Reliance Jio in India very inspiring. IPv6 support from start which saves it tons of money for buying IPv4 addresses , similar to their decision to adopt native 4G LTE Volte from start that helps it save tons of bandwidth on voice compared to Legacy 2G , 3G voice options.

- toast0 8y agoThey run a transition layer, and they likely need to run that almost forever; but chances are they won't need to continue to grow that layer , as they continually apply pressure to service providers to offer services via IPv6. Either explicitly as part of business deals, implicitly through direct IPv6 working better than IPv4 Nat, or a mix through weird NAT policies like when they were dropping 'idle' tcp connections after about 10 seconds for a couple weeks.
