The thing is. Any year can be the year of IPv6. Google is on ipv6, youtube is on ipv6, facebook is on ipv6. Pretty much every datacentre I’ve used (OK limited to Europe) give you IPv6 for free by default. Deploying a web site to be IPv4 and IPv6 is trivial and people that use automation should be able to quite easily apply ipv6 to those scripts.
It’s really just the ISPs (more so in the US as I understand it), lazy IT people and the FUD myths holding us back at this point.
Holy shit, year of the IPv6??
(I know this was 2025)
IPv6 2026Well, at least the last digit fits. Better now than in 10 Years 😉
