Not all problems are well solved by markets, contrary to popular dogma.
In this case, those with the least ability to affect the outcome overall =
are the ones with
the greatest need for IPv6. Large incumbent organizations that have lots =
of IPv4 addresses
already have very little tangible market incentive to move, yet until =
they move, it=92s very difficult
for smaller players to operate without IPv4 even though it=92s now very =
hard for them to get
IPv4 addresses.
As such, it=92s incumbent on each and every one of us to try and resolve =
this globally so as
to reduce the lasting impacts of our dependence on IPv4 globally.
