alt Hacker NewsIPv6 is dead. Nobody cares about it.
I will believe otherwise once even one US hotel chain supports it. I have _never_ seen a hotel in the US with IPv6 WiFi. Not once.
And I once stayed in a hotel (in Mountain View, CA) that gave out public IPv4 addresses.

You should try staying at small boutique hotels. They tend to just sign up for a regular business internet and you’ll get IPv6 that way. Large chain hotels want central management and their management isn’t modern enough to support v6.

Okay, if you say so. Hotel Wifis are known for being on the bleeding edge of technology, and as the main innovator pushing new internet technology. Everything starts with hotel Wifis. /s
Last time I was in a California hotel, it had IPv6 just fine. That was 2012. Perhaps you choose the wrong hotels :-)
