I haven't recently looked at who has deployed what, but is this really it? US ISPs like Spectrum has been handing out IPv6 addresses for years now. My Verizon wireless phone can access IPv6 resources w/o issue as well.

However, show me the cloud services folks are implementing that are dual stack. Start mandating new service deployment is dual stack, and it'll happen. Similar to how the US Govt is pulling it off.

Right, consumer ISPs seem to be driving IPv6 adoption not lagging it. It's Big Enterprise, including all the supposedly "Cloud Native" companies, dragging their feet real hard right now.
