Some people will only be able to get IPv6 addresses, these people will not be able to talk to servers that do not have IPv6. Obviously money buys power, so it’s going to be people on cheaper ISPs (think cell phone users in poorer countries), these people won’t be able to go to websites that are hosted on servers without IPv6 (mostly sites that are old and outdated). as time goes on more and more people will be IPv6 only, people will have to pay a premium for IPv4 and more people will support IPv6.
