IPv4 has a cost as well. May as well just go
IPv6-only from day one and not pay the IPv4
tax at all.
The cost difference between providing IPv6 +
IPv4 or just IPv4 from day 1 should be zero.
There should be no re-tooling. You just
select products that support both initially.
It's not like products that support both are
more expensive all other things being equal.
--------------------------------------
You're talking logical sense and from what I
have seen, government-oriented managers do
not do that. It's politics only. Not
technical. Not logical. Not actual
save/make money. Put it off until a later
date. Period.
