IPv6 users cost me less money (CGN resources), i wish i had a business
method for giving them discounts and meaningful incentives for using
IPv6.
Today, my retail mobile phones users can have 1 NAT'd IPv4 address or
2^64 public IPv6 addresses + NAT64 to reach IPv4 destinations. Most
don't use the IPv6 address option yet :(
But the number of folks electing to use IPv6 is increasing with more
phones available (4 Androids now support HSPA+ IPv6) and more IPv6
awareness
