[ih] Milestone in IPv4->IPv6 migration..?

[Jack Haverty]

Saw this recently:

"Starting February 1st, 2024, AWS will charge for IPv4 addresses, a move 
set to impact many infrastructure companies. This new cost is 
approximately $4 per month per address. Companies have options like 
passing this cost onto customers, using workarounds such as proxies, or 
switching entirely to IPv6."

Seems like a historical milestone, assuming this is the first time for a 
monthly charge for IP addresses.  Anyone know of something similar, 
earlier in the long timeline of IPv6 transition?  I know there have been 
charges for a "static IPv4 address" for a long time for ISP subscribers, 
but is this the first for servers?
