Seems to me that the only people who get static, wireless, IP addresses
are people who put sensors on vehicles and IoT applications. Who gets a
static IP for a phone? This might cause some serious heartburn for my
previous employer - who built CAD systems for transit buses.

You said the e-mail was from VZ wireless but the e-mail text says Verizon. Is
it really all of Verizon, VZ Wireless, home, business or some combination?

Thought the list would find this interesting. Just received an email from VZ
wireless that they’re going to stop selling static IPv4 for wireless
subscribers in June. That should make for some interesting support calls on
the broadband/fios side; one half of the company is forcing ipv6, the other
can’t provide it. At least now we have a big name forcing the issue though.

Here’s complete text:
On June 30, 2017, Verizon will stop issuing new Public Static IPv4 addresses
due to a shortage of available addresses. Customers that currently have active
Public Static IPv4 addresses will retain those addresses, and Verizon will
continue to fully support existing Public Static IPv4 addresses. In order to
reserve new IP addresses, your company will need to convert to the Persistent
Prefix IPv6 requirements and implement new Verizon-certified IPv6 devices.
Why should you make the move to Persistent Prefix IPv6?
•
Unlike IPv4, which is limited to a 32-bit prefix, Persistent Prefix IPv6 has
128-bit addressing scheme, which aligns to current international agreements and
standards.
•
Persistent Prefix IPv6 will provide the device with an IP address unique to
that device that will remain with that device until the address is relinquished
by the user (i.e., when the user moves the device off the Verizon Wireless
network).
•
IPv4-only devices are not compatible with Persistent Prefix IPv6 addresses.
