it is indeed. But banks are more IT-savvy and more security aware than
most other enterprises, so while the market is growing, it still is
surprisingly (and frustratingly) small.
But it takes time for the word to spread, and more often than not people
mistake IPv6 for the actual problem, rather than IPv4 over DS-Lite etc.

This is another one of those weird things. The CDNs to my knowledge
just got it up and running, but why on earth are the cloud providers
lagging behind? With regard to networking they are doing pretty much
the same: They host some customers stuff and make sure it is accessible
from around the world.
Hmm.
