One can hope. I wouldn’t be too surprised if some ISPs try to deploy just CG-NAT and punt on IPv6 deployment as long as they can.
- tambre 7y agoSupporting IPv6 natively would be cheaper as they'd need to invest less in NAT capacity.
- pilif 7y agoThey will more than make up the difference by increasing the rent for the public IPv4 addresses they got when they were still available.
- icebraining 7y agoYeah, but it's not like offering IPv6 prevents those rents, so why waste that money on NAT capacity if they can pocket it instead?
- pilif 7y agoOnce IPv6 is available widely enough, prices for IPv4 addresses will plummet because there is a nearly unlimited amount of IPv6 addresses available for much cheaper or free
