Well.. these policy proposals seem mainly set to enable v6 to enterprises, not to ISPs (because ISPs can basically qualify as it is). As is it, enterprises have very little incentive to deploy v6 in any case. It brings them few benefits and a lot of (bleeding edge) trouble. While enterprises may be good for ISPs to get some revenue to play with v6, and maybe to get pressure on the equipment vendors to ship v6 stuff, we shouldn't be equating enterprises' desires wrt v6 with the success or failure of v6. IPv6 will succeed or fail regardless of whether enterprises get v6 PI or not. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks.
