IPv6 on Mobile 3G/LTE/etc. ?

[Meester]

Hi there,

As OVH got hit by a RIPE IPv4 shortage since Dec 2016, I'll need to start preparing my clients for IPv6 to these/their services, and the question inadvertently come up:


Which Mobile providers are provisioning IPv6 for their 3g/LTE/etc. devices?

There is a reason why cellular companies did not enable IPv6 yet, (even for testing).
There is a plenty IP space in South Africa, so there is no need. Besides, don't be an early adopter, your clients will suffer. You have to open routers for incoming broadcasting, in IPv4 you could simply block such traffic, as it is not a part of specification. Configuration of the home and small business equipment will give you lot of headake, not sure it is ready and fully debugged at this stage.

I know it's a money/pocket issue, I was just wondering/asking about availability ;(
