Why is it so hard to pull off the same regulation in other parts of the world? It isn’t like supporting IPv6 is black magic…
Because there is no significant benefit to the consumer

Is the reason this regulation doesn’t exist elsewhere because it is difficult? Maybe other places just don’t have a desire to regulate this.

Because generally it would be a bad idea for the government to force certain technologies upon the private sector, even if in this case it might be fine.
I'm ashamed at our countrys paltry 14% (Sweden). ISPs don't want to spend money exchanging routers. There's a per-country map here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...
> I'm ashamed Slightly off-topic, but what should you be ashamed by something that is totally independent from you, that you can't control in any way? Personally I'm ashamed only if I do something wrong myself.

Indian isp are not using IPv6 though they seem to assign most users local Nat addresses my guess is looking how cheap internet is in India using real IPv6 addresses would increase internet prices
Question to those familiar with IPv6. My company has /24 IPv4 PI blocks. We are not a LIR. Can I request a /48 or larger IPv6 prefix from my sponsor LIR (what is the largest IPv6 prefix that can be obtained this way?) Can such IPv6 prefix (not being a LIR) be further distributed to customers? (e.g. we offer some internet access) - afaik there were some restrictions when not being a LIR. I am not sure what the current…
If you're talking about the RIPE region, then; - Can I request a /48 or larger IPv6 prefix from my sponsor LIR -> Yes. Something bigger than a /48 might be hard, but /48 shouldn't be any problems. - Can such IPv6 prefix be further distributed to customers? -> No. A IPv6 PI assignment can only be used by yourself and your own infrastructure and not assigned to customers[0]. Other RIRs will have the information on thei…

For the US, if I had to guess, ISPs have huge lobbying presence in Washington. Of course they won't want to make more work for themselves.
Is it the ISP's or holders of address blocks? I wonder how much all the IPv4's on Earth are worth.

Ok, maybe I should exclude clubs...
Nice. Can anyone from India comment? I imagine a lot of this is mobile, what is the v6 like on fixed broadband?
Seamless. I have multiple fibre and mobile connections. https://whatismyipaddress.com/ reports an ipv6 and ipv4 address for each connection. I had to do nothing on my routers, it just started working a few months ago. Edit:fixed bad URL
