Who needs IPv6? Swisscom in Switzerland releases new products that give you IPv4 behind a carrier grad NAT. Its real awesome.

#12Running since years SixXS tunnels in Germany I wonder now, what are the alternatives besides https://www.tunnelbroker.net (Hurricane Electric Free IPv6 Tunnel Broker)?
Shutting down the most important IPv6 tunnel provider at the international IPv6-Day is not a good sign at all...

#13Local ISPs still (stupidly) claim that there is no demand for IPv6 so I will surely miss them. I really appreciate the stable service they have provided over the years.
In a way that is true - the majority of end users has no clue what IPv6 even is. Years ago (~2005-2006) I called my ISP's hotline to ask if there was a way to get native IPv6 - the support person did not even know what it was. It is baffling, though, how stubborn some ISPs are. All the hoops they have to jump through to keep IPv4 working must cost something, too.
There is demand - gamers want it for lower pings. They've been told all that NAT slows them down.
