Pushing IPv6 would more likely than not decrease the cost for end users, and it could allow competition from independent ISPs.

Well sure, if you already have your own IPv4 address(es) - but not everyone has !

You forget about the opportunity cost that comes from our broken Internet where you cannot assume end-to-end network connectivity because you might have to deal with NAT and especially CGNAT ! (How many protocols end up overcomplicated (=expensive) and dead in the water because of that ?)

In the uk we already pay bt tax money to keep our network up to date ipv6 should be included in that.

Most people want ipv6 so they can get more ips / static ips, but from a legislation perspective its more about future proofing and staying relevant.

Most people want ipv6? What % of people even know what ipv6 is?

They don't know it by name, but if you tell them that with IPv6 they could ditch their mobile phone service (their home router can run a SIP trunk just fine, so all they need is a non-NATed connection), or that you could create a FON-style mesh network where you could make money by becoming a hotspot provider, they would be more interested.

> Most people want ipv6 so they can get more ips / static ips

My statement was clearly the use case of ipv6 a direct answer to your question. Why? as in why would people want ipv6.

Anyway have fun playing dumb.

Most people want more ips or static ips? How many people know what an ip is even? Jesus.

Still not what I said. Gargamel.
