There is not much of a solution, today, for either IPv4 _or_ IPv6.
There is a good solution, and it works for IPv4. But I can't tell you what
it is, since I am making money with that knowledge, and I don't want to
tell my competitors my business.
But I will give you a hint: Over-consolidation doesn't scale well. It
just creates exhorbitant executive salaries, crazy-stupid business plans
funded by VC, and opportunities for undercooked books. The dinosaurs are
dying, and they don't know why. To continue the metaphor, I'm small and
furry, and I don't really know why they are dying either. But I know I'm
not in the same boat.
