Re: Disable IPv6 ?

Support for IPv4 will last a long time, but it may imply an extra cost,
plus limitations to the access to new services. The new mobile phone
standard 5G will use only IPv6. As will the "internet of things".

Upgrading now is easy and cheap, mostly it only requires learning. You
can use "dual stack", everything new in IPv6 only, and upgrade old
systems at your own pace. It may be a good idea to learn before you get
replaced by somebody who knows.

There are people creating still new applications for "green screen",
sure, others will stick to PIv4 until some service requires to upgrade.
Those are not the examples to follow.

In Paraguay there is a law that requires the ISP to provide the name of
the user of an IP in case of a fraud, it sounds like a good idea, but
because NAT the address is shared by lots of users, so it is not applicable.

I did a little searching and I'm not finding anything saying anything like
"device xyz will no longer support IPv4 after such-and-such a date".

Again, I'm all for keeping current but is there really a reason to upgrade
an internal network to IPv6? Something strong enough to convince even our
network consultant (who still carries a flip phone) that it needs to be
done?
