I think mobile carriers will be some of the first to transition. The number of devices they need to connect is exploding, and since they have more control over the devices than general ISPs, they can smooth the transition.
- eli 16y agoNokia's been pushing IPv6 for a while. It apparently has a significant improvement in battery life because they no longer require devices to check in and renew DHCP leases as often.
- bryanlarsen 16y agoI'm under the impression that many mobile carriers already NAT their client's devices, so they've already "fixed" their problem.
- nfriedly 16y agoI'm pretty sure T-mobile does something like this. I believe you can get a non-NAT'd address if you specifically ask for it.
- zaphoyd 16y agoThis is happening already. All of Verizon's currently shipping LTE (4G) devices have native IPv6.
