This is my point… That is why I think an announcement of “On X date, we will begin charging extra for IPv4 services and define Internet Access to be IPv6” by a couple of the larger eyeball ISPs would light a pretty big fire under those laggards.
You mean like: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/ipv4-pricing/ ?
yes, a /24 was 0 setup, now now close to 5000 of currency.... and the monthly fee also doubled. Noting that 20 for an IPv4 IP is effectively quite cheap with current prices going towards 50+...
There are thus already a few places that are doing the squish....

Yes, but it needs to come from a major eyeball ISP to be the motivating factor that we need here. A minor virtual server host isn’t going to do it. Owen
