You can pay $3 per ipv4, that is your business. But, it may be worth noting that AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, T-Mobile, TWT, Google Fiber all have have double digit ipv6 penetration today.
To be fair: Verizon Wireless, if you're referring to 4G LTE? Agreed.
I don't know what the plan is for the remaining 3G services.
I get IPv6 on both 3G and 4GLTE from VZW.
Verizon Enterprise (what used to be UUNET)? Agreed. Verizon Online (Fios, DSL)? I have to disagree. Lots of foot-dragging here.
Similar with AT&T Wireless. If you want to have some fun, open up a ticket with your carrier if you can’t reach http://thegoodlife.delong.com It has an AAAA record, but no A record. In my experience, most carriers will not even figure out the nature of the problem.
Most carriers appear to be making IPv6 capability a requirement for their LTE buildouts. The only major US carrier that I hears was resisting IPv6 was Sprint, and I don't know if their position has changed in the past 12 months.
To the best of my knowledge it has not. However, I think a big part of that is that sprint thought they could spell 4GLTE using the letters W-I-M-A-X. Owen
