APNIC: Big Tech’s use of carrier-grade NAT is holding back internet innovation

The linked article is about the slow transition to IPv6 due to the widespread use of IPv4 Network Address Translation (NAT) technology. It explains how the reliance on NAT, which allows multiple devices to share a single IPv4 address, has slowed down the adoption of IPv6, the next-generation internet protocol. The article discusses how the growth of IoT devices and the increasing demand for internet connectivity have made the transition to IPv6 more critical, but the inertia created by NAT continues to hinder the progress.
