If you have a Drive-in Movie Theater, you can go to enjoy those! They made a comeback in some areas due to COVID-19. My local Drive-in Theater cashed in on the pandemic by making the theater a place to enjoy Sports (Football, Hockey) at night on the weekdays when they're normally closed, and also purchased some new 4K Digital projectors in the Spring before they re-opened using the proceeds they generated from the lock-downs.

Hello John!

Besides the inevitable depletion of IPv4 addresses, will there be any further incentives towards pushing providers, service operators, etc, to handle and serve IPv6? Will there ever be requirements to make providers transparent as to when they will roll out IPv6, if their network is still IPv4 single stack?

There are still many providers, notably ISPs, which I deal with on a daily basis who do not, and will not offer IPv6 even to larger organizations presently. Some service providers also include Datacenters. Some providers have been spending years in "IPv6 testing" phases, but have not disclosed much of anything besides "We're working on it" for up to several years. A lot of this boils down to residential services, and I'm sure the last thing any of us will want is Carrier-grade NAT.

On a final note, networks I've helped to build and maintain have been operating with IPv6 for the better part of this decade. Feels going being able to reach ALL of the public Internet.
