Yes and no… I think you are right about facebook. However, I think eventually the residential ISPs are going to start charging extra for IPv4 service. Some residences may pay for it initially, but if they think there’s a way to move away from it and the ISPs start fingerpointing to the specific laggards, you’ll see a groundswell of consumers pushing to find alternatives.
