I need a business reason to make the business do IPv6.  I do not need a
technical reason.  This thread has shown there is no business use case for
global IPv6.

I also want to throw this out there:  Metronet residential (last I heard
7th largest fiber provider in the US, this was well before the Tmobile
acquisition) doesn't even give out public IPs.  They do IPv4 only CGNAT.
You can get a /32 static at $15/mo (in some areas).

They also turned off IPv6 in networks they acquired, which is sad.

I know it caused some of the more technical people I know to leave their service, not that is a business case, but it’s 
a churn case.
