Size of the business doesn't really matter, its the margins that matter. You look at someone like Bulletproof, and while they probably don't do much more traffic than say serversaustralia, I'd bet they charge about 5x as much. And they support IPv6 AFAIK.</p>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">@Peter, yea but there is only no benefit because the content providers like serversaustralia don't support it. Obviously it isn't limited to just Australia, most of serversaustralia sized businesses globally don't support IPv6, but imagine if they did.</p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">@Ross, might or might not make sense, but reality is reality. It isn't so much about them footing the bill for everyone else to change, it is about them being competitive in the market. If there is a business, 2yrs or 20 years old, that is facing growth issues due to lack of IP space, then it is up to them to decide how they want to remain competitive. They could moan and groan about IPv4 prices coming down and the fact they can't get any more, or they could move to ipv6 where the potentially large upgrade cost becomes merely nominal if they look 20 years ahead.</p>

If they went into business with software like cPanel and did nothing to try push for proper IPv6 support, again that is their own fault. Bigpond and Optus have very little reason from content serving perspective to have IPv6, so it was up to the major sources of content to get their side ready so that people like Bigpond and Optus actually had benefit in rolling out IPv6. Do you think David Thodey is going to go to his board and say "oh hey guys, here's a $100 million proposal to ready our network for IPv6, of course it won't benefit anyone as none of the content out there is IPv6, but it will cost us more if we have to do it later" and get an answer anything other than "bugger off, not interested, it might cost us more later but all we care about is this years bottom line, screw the future that is the next CEOs problem"?</span></p>

And none of them have left the providers, because while the IPv4 cost increased, overall these lowish margin providers are still a damn sight cheaper than the majority of companies. </span></p>

><br>> It won't specifically be IPv6 or running out of IPv4 addresses that will have caused these businesses to fail. What those businesses will have really done is failed to plan ahead. In this instance, they've had 10 to 15 years to prepare and plan, and to incorporate the costs of the future upgrade into their current product prices. In most other instances e.g. a new tax, they'll have less than 12 months to prepare for it. A business that can't plan ahead with a 10 to 15 year notification period probably shouldn't deserve to survive, because it also probably doing a lot of other things wrong too, and has such slim margins that it doesn't have any ability to cope with the reasonable yet unexpected cost increases. Would they survive if power prices go up by 20%?<br>
><br>> This sounds harsh, but it is the reality. Businesses that aren't good at being a business fail, and the resources they weren't utilising very well (e.g. people, infrastructure), are absorbed into businesses that are better at being businesses.<br>
