Hey tomslin,<br><br>yes the situation demands that we be ipv6 ready. And quite a number of us are involved in this as I know you are either as a consultant or trainer. But looking at most networks, and applications including the developers to develop them, we are nowhere near large scale migrations. <br>
<br>The central IPv4 pool got depleted a while back so thats gone. However Africa is one of the few places where an ISP can start from zero and get a /20 or even a /19 from afrinic's v4 pool.<br><br>The issue I have with the article is its understandability especially by the people that read newspapers. If the journalist doesn't understand it, how in the world is he to communicate clearly. to say IPv6 will be used for 'spying' might work against its adoption by the common guy is one thing that comes to mind. Also today If Safariocm with the biggest customer base is able to give V4 space to each customer/business, I dont see how other ISP's cant. my point being with v4 as with v6, the spying (whatever that means) can occur. IP should be de-coupled from the 'spying' statements. <br>

@John - I think we are. If you look at the image below that summarizes the availability in the central IPv4 pool as of 31/01/2011, you'll agree we are, and projections show only Africa will still have available v4 address by mid 2014. So I think it is also an issue.<div>
