While the above are real costs, beware of promises that IPv6 will remove, reduce or even lower the cost of doing NAT. As long as there is an IPv4 Internet, NAT will be an integral part of any IPv6 deployment.

If they're CGNATing then that corresponds to a substantial drop in the amount of traffic that needs to be CGNATed, and therefore also a corresponding drop in the cost of the hardware needed to do it.
