So they are converting their customers to DS-Lite..

For themselves... But their customers that are converted to DS-Lite are left without an IPv4 address.

Most of the "legacy" assignments are in the US. It does not matter, the well has run dry, freeing those lagacy assignments will only give a few month extra relief.

"Wealth"? Not really. Just the last drops.


Cheers, Michiel
