That segment of the industry had better be ferreting away to support v6 in their hosting platforms, networks, OSs, and backoffice systems.  Time is certainly running short.

But only if many startups are approaching APNIC for that space. And it doesn't help someone like my previous employer that had many single server colocation customers that would need v4 for hosting, that can't get another allocation from the final /8 to serve that sort of customer.

Swings and roundabouts, but best discussed on the policy sig list.
