Re:Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable

Big universities (at least in my experience in the USA) are the other ones that would have a public IP address for every device, at least until rather recently. They were online very early and got allocated huge blocks of addresses, before anyone really imagined future scarcity.

In the mid-90's, every system at my university had a public IP address, including those on the campus residential networks. There were no firewalls. It was also a flat address space (/16, 255.255.0.0) for the whole campus! The 90's were certainly a different time.
