I'd only do that if you think it's likely to decrease in value. Do you think it'll be more or less valuable in 5-10 years?

- judge2020 5y agoI imagine some critical mass will be reached where cloud providers start charging exuberant fees for IPv4 addresses and many businesses go IPv6 only (which wouldn't even be a big hit for mobile users[0]), and this news will be widespread enough to encourage ISPs to actually roll it out at a faster pace. Now, whether that's in 10 years or 20 is to-be-seen, but I agree with you and I doubt the rollout of IPv6 hits the point where people stop wanting IPv4 addresses all-together within 30 years. 0: most all cellular/5g networks already provide IPv6 since even CGNAT is expensive compared to assigning a /128 per-device. iPhone 13 (or ios 15 with iPhone 12) also has a 'data mode' switch, which will use 5G if it's faster than the local wifi - this likely opens up the device using cellular to allow access to IPv6-only sites when their WiFi doesn't support it.
