<P><FONT SIZE=2>I guess i'm still missing the point. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>If the average ISP in question does not have the scruples</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>which you or I have, and they are not required to pay for v4</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>space today, then what possible reason would they have to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>switch to v6, which has a $5 price tag? IT's analagous to the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>NIC situation, where netsol announced that .com/.net/.org would</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>be X dollars per reg, but not until said date. What did people</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>do? They went out and registered every possible domain they could.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The same concept will apply here, except that where people will be</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>driven is to submit ARIN regs for v4, and falsify their current utilizations. All I can say is... bye bye Internet. So, my overall</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>point is that... I don't like paying taxes. The large majority of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the population of planet earth responds to positive</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>reinforcement, so a model that reflects it is what I think we ought</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to be shooting for, and no, I haven't devised one....yet. :-)</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The mere fact of charging more for it doesn't create it, but does create</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>To wit, right now IPv6 is academic. If IPs cost $5/mo per, a lot more</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>people would be a lot more interested in IPv6.</FONT>
