How many connected last year...<BR>
4 x /8's issued to APNIC <BR>
4 x /8's issued to RIPE<BR>

I'm well aware that the majority of vocal people on this list are supporters of ipv6, I just have an investigative mind, in other words, I do think some here are hyping things up for their own agenda, just like those did back in 90's.<BR>
<BR>
I mean, talking about ripping off end users more money because they use ipv4 like Skeeve brought up, pleaaseeeee, , you try to force everyone onto ipv6, then there's going to plenty of spare ipv4 in APNIC's pool isn't there, so no problem for the ISP's that wont rip them off :)<BR>
<BR>
So apart from the noise makers on this list beating their chest about it, is anyone actually in serious talks with CPE vendors, how about retailers? find some cluey retailers and get them to push vendors as well, after all, that's where this needs to start.<BR>
<BR>
As someone else mentioned, the vast majority of end users don't care, they will not sit down and google it, they will not read white papers or RFC's about it, they have no desire to learn squat about it, all they want is for the Internet to work, existing customers and in next few years or so should easily be serviced by ipv4, it's the newbie from nearing then, the ones who go out and buy brand new CPE because its their first, or their existing one got blow to hell in a storm that needs to be targeted towards ipv6 capable CPE.<BR>
