“And then you woke up from the dream and had to face reality..”

Mobile (in Europe at least) is virtually wholly IPv6. Yes you’re often NAT’d to v4 at the carrier network edge, but that’s a necessity if you want to access a v4 only server.

It’s not particularly difficult to go dual stack, end eventually retire v4. It’s just that there’s very little incentive to do so at the moment. It needs both a carrot and a stick. As it stands there is neither, so nothing will change.
