Google Marks IPv6 Tipping Point

Google data shows that for the first time half of access to its services came over IPv6, meaning the long‑running IPv4→IPv6 transition is now measurable at global scale. That milestone implies many networks and client devices are becoming IPv6‑native, changing how traffic is routed, how address scarcity markets operate, and how policy tools (filtering, geolocation, legal jurisdiction tied to addresses) will function. — A durable shift to IPv6 changes the operating assumptions of Internet governance, national control, censorship tools, and infrastructure investment decisions.
