By end user I mean hosting clients (cloud, collocation, shared, =
dedicated, VPS, etc.) of any sort. For example you have clients that =
would need....say /24 for their dedicated server. If you charge a =
$1.00/IP which is typical then you would lose that revenue if they =
converted to IPv6. If you didn't charge for IPv4 then you have nothing =
to to lose.=20

users are not interested in IPv6 - most would not recognize IPv6 if it =
