Delaying the inevitable?

I saw at

»www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2···219.html

there are different stages of deploying IPv6.

and I saw this interesting text

But APNIC is a bit of a surprise. Given the RIR depleted their IPv4 address pool over two years ago, I expected more networks to be in the “Deploying” and “In Production” stages. This implies Asia is using more workarounds, such as NAT and CGN, to delay the inevitable.

Its all about $$, deploying and change all the network gear to support IPV6 has no payback. Its simple to have carrier grade NAT and that's where the bulk of the solutions to depleted IPV4 address do. IPV6 being common is decades, if ever away

Please explain what you mean by these things:

a)

With so much nat to go around, IPV6 is simply unneeded despite the sky is falling folks claims.

CGN is working out great in the UK:

If you can't open it, you don't own it.

I think that was sarcasm.

CGN is what runs all the mobile data, no issue there, and no mob looking burning down the tower.

Most residential users don't use all 65K ports per IP address, that's the waste of IPV4. Anyways, regardless of the opinions here, CGN is the future for residential internet, more control and profit for the internet providers, IPV6 will be a business thing, not residential

IPv6 Is needed for the future, However at least in the US you have to remember that the modern investor does not care about even what is two years down the road, Because two years is not next quarter.

A big big issue with IPv4 was all those blocks they awarded to first generation ARPANET and Internet companies and schools. There are companies with tens of millions of IPs that they will never use but they still own the blocks and the only way to get them back into the pool is to buy them.

Today (2012) the industry has very few sites that are IPv6-only and would require you to change your equipment (less than 1%)

Unlimted IP's and no NAT necessay, read up on what IPv6 is about ..

I wrote read, not reply

IPV6 doesn't have NAT, and its a small percentage of IP's that are used for WAN.

From the other end, look at how poor things are in web hosting land.

NAC: yeah you can have IPv6 but you have to relocate to our newer data center
Liquid Web: yeah we are IPv6 ready! but not on any of the managed servers because cpanel doesn't support it yet.
Amazon: yeah we do ipv6 but you must create your servers using the "old" interface, in only two of our many zones, and THEN you have to use our elastic load balancer to offer an ipv6 address (but it will talk ipv4 to your machine).

So that is why 99% of sites don't offer ipv6 dual-stack or even bother with an ipv6 proxy. Because it doesn't yet come "free" piggy-backed onto their products in the same way HTML5 comes "free" with newer browsers, ready to be explored.

There needs to be pressure from whatever central authority handles routing or something: all you guys needing our help, you must be providing a rising percentage of your customers IPv6 by default, for free, on the following timescale, otherwise you can't (whatever it is they must have). The way california is forcing automakers to increase EV adoption and thus add EV charging stations.

for something important you'd think they'd write the news release in proper english, and actually have it say something. Or is this site just a dumb reseller creating fake news in order to keep their site ranked?

cPanel then listed to the request and is now in process of supporting IPv6 in their system.
