[AusNOG] Less than 10% of IPv4 Addresses Remain Unallocated

[Nathan Gardiner]

I'm sure it's no revolutionary idea, but the provision of additional
spectrum to broadcasters as part of the digital TV rollout, and consequently
the availability of extra content through digital recievers has likely done
a lot to promote uptake - I read this morning that 44% of Australian viewers
have digtal recievers (in reference to ABC's planned news channel), which is
very significant given the size of the market.

Without actually having concrete details I'd think that in any way those
with an interest in IPv6 adoption could subsidise specific content or
services available exclusively over IPv6, it would at least provide some
incentive for CPE vendors and consumers to make the change. I'm aware that
my ISP offers dual-stack connectivity and while I'll get around to replacing
my CPE eventually I can't say that alone is much of an incentive to
spend extra for compatible CPE right now.
