I suspect that even if there was an entity with the reach to impose such a tax, people will resort to deploying CGN more, to hide their IPv4 usage to the extent possible. That's time, money, and effort taken away from moving to IPv6. You might also find that many taxed organizations will simply

It's certainly financial but it's not just companies being cheap. For example for smaller companies with a limited staff and small margins. They may want to have v6 everywhere but lack the resources to do it. It would for certain speed up the process but there would be collateral damage in the

Let me clarify that I 100% agree with both Job and Dovid. It is indeed a terrible idea. And not everyone is even convinced IPv6 is the right next step. So it’s obviously wrong to push people towards where someone thinks, even if it’s the majority. I just had a hunch that even then we would

It appears in your thought experiment, a stick is dressed up like a carrot. I’m not a fan of deploying purely punitive strategies to promote adoption; technologies should stand on their own and be able to convince the potential users based on their merit, not based on penalties.
