I assume that this means that ipv6 will be supported by 100% of Czech ISPs, but still, Czech citizens are supposed to be able to access Czech government sites even if they are abroad. Many countries don't have much ipv6 adoption yet. Is this even legal?

It's difficult for the Czech population to use cellphones?

By 2032, it's virtually certain IPv6 is going to be the majority protocol. For instance, see Google's numbers:

I know Americans have this weird assumption that cellphones = ipv6, but that's not true for the majority of the world.

It's not wrong though. Besides North America, there are major carriers in India, France who use IPv6-only networks (with 464XLAT), and I know several South American and Asian countries have them as well. In fact, India is a world leader in IPv6 adoption. Nowadays it's a very common for mobile networks to be IPv6-only because these providers haven't been able to secure large Ipv4 subnets in the early days. Ironically, they have the most devices. However, this is also the reason why phones work much better with XLAT than Windows or Linux.

Czechia has a low percentage of 25%.

But that is something that could be improved with government pressure on ISPs.

Allow me to append a short summary in English: - The Czech government adopted a new directive titled "The restart of DNSSEC and IPv6 enrollment in the government" - Until yesterday, no administration on the European continent has made such a decisive step as setting a end-of-support date for IPv4 - Selected date is highly symbolic, the 6th of June, 2032, the 20th anniversary of the World IPv6 day - This decision has…
