This means 1.2 billion Indians, 1.4 billion Chinese, and the hundreds of millions of others in the 50+ economies APNIC supports.

I think 3 billion people being out of IPv4 will bring forward the adoption of IPv6 - but it will still be a while.

With IPv6 being turned on permanently on the main websites of Facebook, Google, Bing, etc... in June, this will start to drive many businesses to follow... and when v4 starts to break, have billions of people yelling.

Great so 3 billion people can use facebook (god help them), Google and Twitter, be a lonely place wont it... hell, even a couple of the largest IRC networks dont use ipv6, nor even the BBC or CNN. Dunno bout you, but I have NO intentions of living on facebook, I try not to even visit it. <BR>

(that reminds me, well done to qpsmedia for no longer making us to go to facebook for extended details on your tweets)<BR>

Australia is nothing in the scheme of things here. There are estimated 500 million new people going to be joining the internet/social media in Asia this year with the advent of cheap smart phones... it is things like this which force/push along adoption of IPv6, not anything we do in our backwater of 22million.<BR>

And what percentage of AP region only talks to themselves?<BR>
If I was issued with only a 6 address tomorrow, I might as well turn everything off for a few years.<BR>
But because the largest ISP's in au have had the sense to stockpile ipv4, I doubt I'll have to do that <IMG SRC="cid:1331690786.4353.16.camel@tardis" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"><BR>
