This is exactly why ipv6 was never widely adopted. There's too much power in a limited IP pool.

Define "widely".

According to Google 46.09% of their traffic is IPv6 and most servers support it. It's mostly large ISPs dragging their feet.

I think it's just a few domestic US ISPs. The rest of the world has been happily using it for quite some time.

I've never seen functional ipv6 except at university, and I would only consider gci large in terms of coverage area and price.
