Just turn off ipv4 for one minute every day. Next month, increase it to 2 minutes. A minor inconvenience, but a major motivator.


Punish people that don't care and have no control over whether or not their ISP supports IPv6?

IPv6 affects everyday internet users exactly 0%. It's rational for them not to care about it.


To me that's more of an argument for GP's idea. Make it rational for them to care about it. Display a big "You can't visit this website because <ISP name> won't let you. Here's their email:"

Obviously it's not worth it for any website that matters to actually do this, but it's fun to think about.


It's more like the carbon tax. The companies with lazy network admins are "externalising" the cost of their outdated networking on the larger Internet ecosystem.
