<div dir="ltr">I think the argument has been misunderstood or taken out of context. <div><br></div><div>There is a cots of rolling over to a fully supported IPv6 network. Do the ISPs feel they will get Return on Investment in the near future from that effort? So for example, operator X might argue "My ISP is v6 ready, to enjoy the benefits, you will pay $+1 unlike operator Z who charges $ but does not support v6". Remember, outdated network equipment may not support IPv6 and Dual-stacking is not usually possible in such cases. (use tunneling?). Also, non-compliant equipment needs to be replaced because the manufacturer no longer exists or software updates are not possible. My point is, who will foot that cost?
