some countries other than the US are severely starved for IP addresses.
Please point me to the RIR policies that say that organizations in the US that don't have address space get it, while the same request from a non-US organization is denied.
Or, how a US organization that doesn't have address space can get it other than from their ISP or regional internet registry.
Bellsouth.net isn't offering IPv6 which is crazy they should talk to google I guess. So where is IP6 being done? I heard in mobile - cellular data?
If you want IPv6, it's generally easier to use a tunneling mechanism rather than wait for your ISP to deploy native IPv6. Two important reasons why large outfits like Bellsouth aren't doing IPv6 right now is that their customers can't use it anyway because cheap residential gateways don't support it, and in a large network even an insignificant change costs a lot of money.
