> Most of the networks that make up today’s Internet are built and operated

> network operators, who must also take into account the cost versus benefit
> when deciding to upgrade their networks to the new version of the Internet
> Protocol. The number of networks that support IPv6 today proofs that IPv6
> adoption is a technically feasible option for businesses. IPv6 adoption is
> on the rise - not only in the global North, but also in a number of states
> in the southern hemisphere and there appears to be little correlation to
> GDP and IPv6. There remains some questions such as:
>
>
>
> • Why is there such a difference in IPv6 adoption in comparable
> markets?
>
> • While cost is often cited as a reason not to adopt, why are
> commercial ISPs of all sizes deploying IPv6?
>
>
>
> Some studies explore the “why and when” of IPv6 adoption[3]
> <#m_1742699153316112739__ftn3> or try and model the economic effects of

> <#m_1742699153316112739__ftn4>[5] <#m_1742699153316112739__ftn5>, but in
