AWS Begins Charging for Public IPv4 Addresses

Google publishes a map of what percentage of users are accessing them via IPV6.[1]. The numbers aren't great. The US is around 53%, UK 43%, Brazil 45%, France 74%, India 68%. And many countries much lower. I believe the setup is such that if the end user's IPV6 was functional, they get counted.

Thank you for the statistics, they are interesting. Would also be interesting to know the evolution of those statistics over the last 5 years.

Either way, seems that an IPv4 address is still needed for websites that target a worldwide audience.

There is an "adoption" tab that shows history for the overall percentage, and it has grown significantly.

I think, though, that most of the growth is mobile devices, which seem to more broadly support ipv6 because they have to. If they would show growth for Home/ISP, I suspect it would be pretty lousy.

Right. Why did I not see that? Thanks!
