My idea wouldn't work with todays technology. But if you look at a future... perhaps the next version of BGP or its replacement, and technologies where you could update your dynamic location. It could be used for all sorts of purposes, such as emergency+voip, and so on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Think how far we've come in 10 years... think what we will be doing in 5 years or 10. I see different protocols facilitating all these issues.</div><div><br></div><div>First it starts with an idea... and ideal... then we need to figure out how to make it happen. The problem with the internet is that there are so many different (and valid) opinions as we're all coming from different perspectives and beliefs..... I think it's going to be a long battle to get the great minds of this Internet to agree on something we all will adopt.... but it is possible.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For example... SMTP NEEDS to change... in some way to deal with all this spam and crap... but getting people to agree just on how that should be has been a battle going on for years... and there is no end in sight.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Think of tomorrow, dream it up, write RFC's... get the support of vendors and amazing engnineers, the IEEE, IETF, etc.. and things will happen... just in a long time.</div><div><div><div><br>...Skeeve</div>

the main address space by country first – this can lead to waste (or do it multiple time to get a DB of GEO based address ranges every x time to divide it).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Yes I know the range is HUGE for IPv6 but… thinking now save pain later. Maybe unlike v4 to v6 next time we to vX we will make it
backwards compatible…. As this is the sticking point for IPv6 – there is no native IPv4 to IPv6 or vice versa thus we have DS Lite, 6RD, Map-E/T and many others.
