it doesn’t have too......ever hear of NAT?
They've been saying this for 10 years. Either their math is faulty or they're lying.
You as an ISP don’t “own” IPV6 addresses, you rent them by the year. Check the ARIN documents, basically you have to pay a set fee based on the number of IPV6 addresses you have.
IPv4 Not Dead Yet: 625 Days of IPv4 Addresses Remain
Well, at least I know I can do IPv6 on mine. My router and computer can do it. So, everyone make sure they don't get into any IPv4 equipment in the meantime...
For Macintosh users...
Using IPv6
IPv6 is a new version of the Internet Protocol (IP). At present, IPv6 is used primarily by some research institutions. Most computers do not need to set up or use IPv6.
The primary advantage of IPv6 is that it increases the address size from 32 bits (the current IPv4 standard) to 128 bits. An address size of 128 bits is large enough to support a huge number of addresses even with the inefficiency of address assignment. This allows more addresses or nodes than are currently available. IPv6 also provides more ways to set up the address and simpler autoconfiguration.

I can smell the money now....
maybe,,, oh no,,,thats . . .
At work, we’ll likely continue using v4 until we can’t.
v6 Addresses aren’t as easy to memorize. lol
It’s much easier, for example, to instruct someone to ping 192.168.100.1, rather than fe80:0:0:0:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf. Many people probably couldn’t even easily type that. lol
