That must be another one of those Spain things. ;-)
:-) Maybe, because that same provider I see in the web that uses IPv6 in South America. Maybe because there are fewer IP addresses free there. Dunno.
The only improvement is that the routers they issue now are prepared for it.
Searching for information about this, it turns out that when the article (I was just reading) was written (2014), the government tax site had two IPv4 addresses and one IPv6 address:
I don't know if the Canadian government has any IPv6 sites but, as I mentioned, the U.S. government has for years. According to what I've read, the U.S. and Switzerland are more or less tied for being the most advanced in IPv6 deployment.
Actually, they did not have IPv6 (it was "localhost"). The article accuses the ISP of using people in training to badly setup the DNS. People in training (becarios) are a way to pay less to professionals. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
