Want to run a public service with end-to-end connectivity? Go to your RIR to request an IPv4 block and be put on a waiting list.

Or break out your cheque book and be prepared to cough up $35+/IP for the privilege:

* https://auctions.ipv4.global

* https://ipv4marketgroup.com/ipv4-pricing/

* https://ipv4connect.com/marketplace

Or get an IPv6 address block right away for $0.

You'd still need IPv4 to connect with the Internet.

With the IPv4 internet, that is. You don't need IPv4 to connect to most GitHub pages anymore.

Admittedly, IPv4 internet is a good chunk of the Internet, but maybe not the part of interest to you at a given point in time. http://www.delong.com/ipv6_alexa500.html

Plenty of folks are IPv6-only. Mobile on T-Mobile for example:
