That is absolute nonsense, but hey the people in the US don't know
that, because they don't know what is happening here *pinch* ;)
And that we do actually try and keep up with the apnic countries.
Even Steve Deering admitted that, see the great presentation he
gave last year, in Amsterdam at isoc:
http://www.isoc.nl/activ/2002-Masterclass-IETF-IPv6.htm
It has a timeline (slides 47-50) showing the US falling behind
for at least 3 years... come on US show what you are good for :)
Greets,
