>Meanwhile in Europe it's near universal
replyOn HN, 'In Europe' means in one person's particular locale based on their experience and generalised across a continent of about 30 countries. But it's always better than in the US of course.
replyCan we stop this europe/us fight? This remark was completely unwarranted
replyI wrote this as a European (British) who is living in another European country (Finland). People happily write ‘in Europe’ whilst being quite selective in their definition of Europe - usually their very close neighbourhood, and it usually means North and Central Europe. If that.
replyI’ve seen some truly unhinged takes here, my favourite ever being something along the lines of European cars not having cup holders because we don’t have drive-throughs in Europe… I have driven my Volkswagen across this continent and enjoyed many a hot beverage on the move.
I’ve come to learn that discussions on a lot of things, in English, usually end up as a comparison to the States, especially if it involves the healthcare sacred cow.
I wish, just 37.73% of IPv6-capable users in Europe according to APNIC despite much higher availability in transit AS. Highest subgroup is Western Europe at around 72.09%, which is still far from near universal. Similar per-country numbers from Cisco.
replyUnless I've missed something, the US only mandates it for government networks. I don't think there is any mandate for private entities to implement it.
replyA residential network that can't connect you to government websites is called a fraudulent business model. No different from selling a car that only transports up to 20kg.
replyI guess I should clarify: the government mandate is that government sites are dual-stack. They have to support IPv6 in addition to IPv4.
