When will the change happen then you might ask. Very simple. If the
largest destinations like fb/twitter and others start to drop v4.

Agreed, IPv4 will be here a long time, because, not one company will risk
financial loses and stock devaluation over address space. The day that a
large company flips to IPv6 only in an IPv4 world will be the day to short
as many shares of that stock as possible.


T-Mobile US large enough ?

I hear they have more ipv6-only subscribers than ipv4

This creates the big market for IPv4. Costs price per IP address must get
beyond the price of a good lunch once per month. Because, that's an amount
that businesses understand and begin to pay attention. IPv4 address space
is now a profit center and will cost more to the end user than transit and
network costs... Or... how will IPv6 catch on in any other way ?
