OK, this is off topic to an extent, but DTMF provided the opportunity for 
immense savings in the cable plant because of the copper gauge reduction 
allowed. Dropping the requirement for transmitting switch actuations (DC 
on-off) allowed development of more cost effective transmission solutions. The 
removal of the mechanical dial and included governor mechanism dropped both 
manufacturing and maintenance costs for telephone sets and provided the 
opportunity for creative packaging not limited by the rotary dial size. 

That’s enough off topic for now.

As for IPv6: If one assumes that the Internet is a world-wide network of 
networks and that connected devices, including multiple personal devices, will 
continue to proliferate — Management and equipment cost for kluges to 
compensate for the dearth of IPv4 addresses and still provide universal 
connectivity will continue to escalate. Investment in native IPv6 provides an 
obvious future cost avoidance opportunity.

Even ISPs that say, “My network is just fine.” will eventually run into this 
financial reality.

We’ve had native v6 for quite a few years up here.


Spectrum ex. Bright House/Time Warner varies by region.  NY region has 
had it, apparently.


Indianapolis has not, does not, and, from what I gather, will not (for a 
long time).


Apparently the regional operations of Bright House/TWC were very 
separated.  They had other significant policy differences, too, e.g. 
caps/overages, AUP differences (especially as enforced vs. as written), etc.

As far as ipv6. It’s been proven things “load faster” because the ipv6 servers 
of the various websites are not as heavily loaded as the ipv4 variants.

All things equal - ipv6 doesn’t load faster. There’s literally no advantage to 
ipv6 other than “I’m out of ipv4 and need to continue to provide public 
routable Ips to my customers. “

This means that it is physically impossible for IPv6 to be move payload bytes 
"faster" than IPv4 can move the same payload.

In other words, IPv6 has a higher "packet tax" than IPv4.  Since you have no choice but 
to pay the "packet tax" the actual payload data flows more slowly.

The telephone example:

IVRs. Again - no impact to me as a telephone company. 

As far as ipv6. It’s been proven things “load faster” because the ipv6 servers

All things equal - ipv6 doesn’t load faster. There’s literally no advantage to

Furthermore, NAT, prevalent with IPv4, adds latency. There is none with 
IPv6 (unless you're doing it wrong.)

RE: Frontier rural FIOS & IPv6

[Keith Medcalf]

It is not possible for web pages to load faster over IPv6 than over IPv4.  All 
other factors being equal, IPv6 has higher overhead than IPv4 for the same 
payload throughput.  This means that it is physically impossible for IPv6 to be 
move payload bytes "faster" than IPv4 can move the same payload.

In other words, IPv6 has a higher "packet tax" than IPv4.  Since you have no 
choice but to pay the "packet tax" the actual payload data flows more slowly.

The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a 
lot about anticipated traffic volume.

Re: Frontier rural FIOS & IPv6

Telcos had an advantage, they were able to put the cost of that new fancy 
switch into our cost study / rate base.

So they were rewarded for spending money, and boy did they spend money.

To be motivated to do something you have to have a reason or goal.

Most all goal seeking behavior in business can be put two buckets: 1) revenue

Making a plan is based on your perception of current and future events.

At scale the market does a whole lot of testing of economic fitness functions 
that are the result of the decisions of each of our companies makes about what 
all of this means.

If you were an independent telephone company around 1955 to 1965 with relay 
based switches deciding when and if and why to use DTMF or a variant, I'm sure 
there was exactly the same dynamic.  Situation: telecom company with old 
technology that was still working trying to decide what to do.

I mean, your phones still worked on that day you were starting out the window 
musing about it.  Why not just go to lunch and forget about it?

While you were out to lunch after putting off deciding what to do about your 
relay switches around the same period of time the global phone system was 
growing at a breakneck speed and the first submarine transatlantic telephone 
cable system was getting run.

Some people won't like this story because it is about making business decisions 
about technology when you aren't sure of the reasons to either do or not do 
something and isn't arguing about some specific concrete reason to add IPv6 
support like: 1) the world has more people than IPv4 addresses or something 2) 
you work for a big company and would like your revenue from the Internet to 
keep growing over the next 10 years uninterrupted due the risk of not 
supporting IPv6 and this is too trivial of a technology decision because the 
incremental cost is so small (compared to all the other fires you have burning) 
to just add support anyway.  I get where you are coming from.

Going to play devils advocate. 

If frontier has a ton of ipv4 addresses, what benefit is there to them in 
rolling out ipv6?

What benefit is there to you?

Still it's pretty darn good having real broadband on the farm.  One thing

IPv6 thing.

It depends if you're Charter or Time Warner. Charter does.

Re: Frontier rural FIOS & IPv6

[Randy Carpenter]

FWIW, I have had IPv6 for many years on my Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) 
connection at home. I think it was ~2012 or so. On our company fiber 
connection, it has been since ~2010, maybe a little earlier. Granted it took a 
little pressure and I’m sure were were the first IPv6 business customer in our 
area.
