<p class=MsoPlainText>> "satisfied with all of its Internet
services" <--this might be empty. :-).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> I guess that also means, "has no
plans for expansion"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>it's the wrong rubrik. folks happy with ipv4 will
need to run dual stack in order to reach the people who will come later on and
not be able to get enough ipv4 or won't want to pay for it or are, for whatever
reason, not satisfied with THEIR ipv4-only internet services.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>so expansion is a barbell. you can run out of ipv4,
or other people can, and either way you've got to run dual-stack as soon as
economically possible, and the economics are actually quite favourable (i.e.,
it's kinda cheap.) _______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>"Experts keep screaming that the IPv4 sky is
falling. Three such experts were recently asked point-blank to state an
irrefutable business case for moving to IPv6 now, and their answer was more
plausible than the old refrain (the lack of addresses and a yet-to-be-seen
killer IPv6 app). They said that there isn't a business case. No company that
is satisfied with all of its Internet services will need to move, even in the
next few years. They also pointed out that Microsoft is a unique position in
the industry both causing and hindering adoption IPv6 causing through its IPv6
support in its OSes, and hindering by not extending IPv6 support into very many
of its apps."<o:p></o:p></p>
