IPv4 address rentals to mint millions of dollars for AWS (www.theregister.com)

AWS could rake in between $400 million and $1 billion a year from charging customers for public IPv4 addresses while migration to IPv6 remains slow.

AWS cited increasing scarcity and claimed the cost to acquire a single public IPv4 address for customer use had risen more than 300 percent over the past few years.

I'm for it if it actually increases adoption. IPv6 has its flaws but it's better than layers and layers of IPv4 NAT.

Totally agreed. I hope this pushes IPv6 adoption more. At least from what I've seen, it's not actually that difficult to use, even though at first it looks that way.
