> increasingly uses CGN technologies (90% for mobile internet and 50% for fixed line)

https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/are-you-sharing-...



IME operators startefto do CGN for legacy IPv4 when they started offering v6 by default to mobile & consumer fixed lines.


Fixed line ISPs who use cgnat typically have ipv6, tho.


I's 50%, i would not call that "not a thing in many countries" For mobile, it does not usually matter, you have a smartphone, where you would not host something.


For a huge percentage of the developing world the only internet connection people have is a smartphone, and dedicated residential internet at a fixed address is only for the upper middle class and the wealthy.


It matters for smartphones too (think video calls, IoT applications, and home/office networks that have mobile network as uplink) but fortunately IPv6 is common there.
