Re: misunderstanding scale (was: Ipv4 end, its fake.)

It will be a long time
before the price of v4 rises high enough to make it
worth the risk of going v6 only.

New ISP's are born everyday.

Some of them will be able to have a "Buy an ISP that has 
IPv4" or "Buy IPv4 space from known brokers" line item in 
their budget as part of their launch plans.

Most won't.

In Africa, I suppose, but here in North America, the few remaining
ISPs that aren't part of giant cable or phone companies are hanging on
by their teeth.

Also, although it is fashionable to say how awful CGN is, the users
don't seem to mind it at all.

R's,
John
