AWS to charge customers for public IPv4 addresses from 2024
www.theregister.com
Perhaps that'll focus your minds on speeding up your adoption of IPv6, eh?

Cloud giant AWS will start charging customers for public IPv4 addresses from next year, claiming it is forced to do this because of the increasing scarcity of these and to encourage the use of IPv6 instead.

The update will come into effect on February 1, 2024, when AWS customers will see a charge of $0.005 (half a cent) per IP address per hour for all public IPv4 addresses. … These charges will apply to all AWS services including EC2, Relational Database Service (RDS) database instances, Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) nodes, and will apply across all AWS regions, the company said.

    At least Tele2 supports IPv6 on mobile, not sure about others

      I guess that means able to access services on the Internet over IPv6, not me being able to get a /64 and providing services myself to others.

      Sort of ok for phones I guess, although not as great if someone doesn’t have access to fiber and have to use a mobile link in a residential environment.

      Bahnhof actually just provides NAT:ed fiber connections as well as default, but will issue a public, unique IP if asked (at no additional cost).
