No. At least not exactly. That should read : 12.5% of the devices *accessing* *Google* support IPv6 and have access to IPv6 internet, which may be provided by their ISP or via some tunnelbroker.
networks in the world (Comcast, AT&T, KDDI, Verizon Wireless, Time Warner Cable, SoftBank, Deutsche Telecom, Sky, T-Mobile USA etc etc etc) are providing IPv6 to their users.
I would like to see in detail how things happen to business users. Residential is quite easy. Business users is another story.
Why is it still allowed to produce IPv4 equipment, like IP cameras?
Because supporting multiple network protocols in parallel is to everyone's benefit. And yes: all my IP cameras support IPv6 as well.
He probably meant "IPv4-only".
Everybody who invests in IPv4-only equipment these days is not making a very smart buying decision. There are no laws against stupidity...
Because when you buy an IP camera you can be 100% sure that it will support IPv6 before purchase ? Just did the exercice of looking for an IP camera and took the 5 first results (of which 2 from a well-known manufaturer that is supposed to support IPv6 at least in the home router products). 3 of those had no mention of IPv6 (no explicit mention of IPv4 either). The 2 others (from the known manufacturer) had explicit mention of IPv4 and no mention of IPv6. Should we talk about "smart" TVs ? Should we talk of game consoles (especially PS consoles, known to also pose problems with CGN) ? Yes, IPv6 works, but it's not in wide use. The internet is not just only Google, Facebook and Netflix .... That's how things start being complicated.
