The Register is adding very little on top of https://blog.cloudflare.com/detecting-cgn-to-reduce-collater...

They need to come up with an ip solution that is useful enough that people actually want to upgrade to it.

When you compare it to other technologies like https, tls1.3, unicode, 5g cellular, wifi 6, wifi 5 or bluetooth versions, etc. It’s clear that ipv6 adoption is not what it should be if they launched a protocol with clearer benefits to the end user.

Isn’t essentially the entire US on CG-NAT for IPv4 on mobile data?

I’ve also had DOCSIS connections, i.e., fixed lines, with only CG-NAT in Europe years ago.

For those of us who don't have many options other than satellite internet, it generally uses CG-NAT, specifically Starlink.

I wonder if that's not very visible in Cloudflare's data because those mobile devices will likely use IPv6 to connect to Cloudflare-hosted sites.

AFAIK all mobile networks use NAT unless you pay a lot more for a special service with a public static IP.
