   Hello Markus,

   Arin depleted ger IPv4 stock in Sept 2015, so it is a reasonable assumption   
   that T-mobile US can't get ant more IPv4 address space. But the the same would   
   apply to RIPE and the European obile providers. Ripe exhausted her IPv4 space   
   Sept 2012. But here (Netherlands) none of the mobile providers offer IPv6 yet.   
   They offer IPv4 CGNAT though... :-(   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
