And these other markets are either dead or dying because there is no more IPv4. Some might survive if they can adapt to reality in time.
Any current business model which depends on issuing a dedicated (public?) IPv4 addresses to new customers is doomed. That model is simply not sustainable any more. Either change the model or go bust. Pick one.
For the moment it's "change model *AND* go bust". Or "refuse and try to survive" (but ultimately fail 95% of the time, with the current rules). Customers don't care very much about IPv6, CGN doesn't always work, transfer market is at a point difficult ot reach. Or you can just let "incumbets" develop a monopoly.
