AWS is also starting to charge for public IPv4 addresses this year. Did something happen with IPv4 markets? I used to think at least cloud providers were hoarding a ton of addresses.
* The cost of an IPv4 address in the market is constantly increasing
* We have recessions, so giants are looking for savings and profits by using their market position.
In addition, some providers are making IPv6 available more and more (there is no reason to consider IPv4 granted then), and others built on someone else's infrastructure are starting to be charged, so they pass this cost on to consumers.
