[arin-discuss] Encouraging IPv6 Transition (From PPML)

Mon May 14 19:16:40 EDT 2012

I don't mean to be contrary here but these concepts are far too abstract for 99.9% of end users whom will have no point of reference. Most people I talk to didn't even know of the existence of data centres let alone have any clue what v4 vs v6 is. And why should they? There would be no direct benefit to the end user being on v6 over v4 or both. To them their "Internet" either works or it doesn't. Requiring implementation by the major carriers who are dragging their feet by saying no more IPs until they show they are on board is much more compelling.
