In which, tells us that if US can free us even half of it's IP address space, that will supply us maybe another decades.
This would be very ill-spent effort.
If we do the same stupid things a few more decades, like "write new software with IPv4 only, sell millions of phones and other gadgets with IPv4 only", migration to something reasonable will be much *harder*.
If we had done the IPv6 thing 5 years ago already, hardly any mobile device would have been affected - today, there's millions of iThings and Androids that don't support IPv6 on 3G - stupid and avoidable pain.
You are perfectly right, but in the real business world, 99% company operate exactly like how western country works--every CEO is in office for current amount of time, and most of them worry much more about this Q rather than 5 years later in which he might not even in office any more. So if today cost him 10m to fix the problem for 5 years, or cost him 20m to fix the problem forever, not many of them will go for 20m option. The real reason behind it, is just like Jeff said in the IPv6 workshop, most of us are technical people, with not real much of business practice in mind.
Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
