Great strides could be made if Google, Wikipedia, and other major destinations had a day where they displayed a box to non-IPv6-enabled visitors telling them to contact their ISPs and ask for IPv6 and explaining why.
- IgorPartola 12y agoGreat strides will be made when the cost of each IPv4 address rises significantly. That's when you'll see real progress, though not necessarily in the right direction.
- derekp7 12y agoIf only there were sites / protocols that everyone wanted, which could only be reachable by IPv6. Maybe a new file sharing protocol, which uses the vast IPv6 address space to hide better, or something like that.
- freehunter 12y agoIsn't it standard for 4G to give out IPv6? If everyone switched, we'd all have IPv6.
- gsnedders 12y agoLTE is in large part about IPv6 (with the aim of using the PS IPv6 net to move all audio/video longer-term), often with carrier-level NAT for IPv4, simply because unlike the incumbent telecos, many mobile operators simply don't have many IPv4 addresses and there isn't the pushback against carrier-level NAT on mobile.
- drewcrawford 12y agoNo. "LTE does not require or even help IPv6 deployment." http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg15116.html http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg15116....
- btgeekboy 12y agoIt's probably better to fight one battle at a time. Network neutrality is a more immediate concern than IPv6 support.
- blueskin_ 12y agoIf they really wanted to bring the world onto ipv6, they just need to drop the IPv4 version of their service.
