[RndTbl] IPv6

[Adam Thompson]

Unfortunately, no-one is willing to be the bad guy in that story... Not even a *country* can really pull it off.
Think about how many non-IPv6-capable devices there are out there: virtually every single home router, printer, modem, camera, etc.
Now as soon as a flag day is declared, the self-entitled of the world will rise up and say to their government, "who's going to pay for my new equipment?"  Never mind that we've all known this day would come for over 10 years...

On the other hand, I might turn out to be the first who actually has to manage a dual-stack network... and be willing to talk about it, anyway.  Assuming I'm not on powerful drugs as a result of doing so!  Holy **** does it get complicated!
