ago, it was not so easy to probe the point about the cost
savings, because we were advocating for dual-stack. But
dual-stack is no longer a possible long-term strategy, and
now it shows that IPv6-only is much cheaper and possible
(IPv6-only transition is “relatively” new).</span></p>

I think it has gotten to a point where things will happen naturally.<br>
<br>
IPv4 is no longer mostly available at most of the RIR's, is fading
at AFRINIC, and is heaps expensive on the open market.<br>
<br>
All major cloud and content providers (who now carry most of the
Internet's traffic) already support IPv6, as do most major equipment
and software vendors.<br>
<br>
So while I think we should not let-up on harping on about why this
needs to get done, I believe natural forces are ripe to take effect.
As with the Coronavirus, those who are in denial about coming
sea-change will be scrambling to adapt.<br>
