You mean IPv6? That suffers from exactly the same problem: ISP's just don't give a damn and don't roll it out.
You cannot expect your average internet user to know about these things, so they get away with it.
- nly 11y agoMajor residential ISPs aren't rolling out IPv6 largely because they already have enough IPv4 space for their customers. Take a major UK ISP like Virgin Media. According to Hurricane Electrics BGP looking glass project they are originating 9.4M IPv4 addresses[0], however, at the end of 2012, according to Wikipedia[1], they only had 4.8M customers.
