inside networks are fine, as long as you're meeting the Internet with
IPv6-only stack. I'm sure there are CLNS, IPX, AppleTalk etc networks
there, but that doesn't impose a cost to everyone wanting to play.
Um, so what? There is lots of cruft the world over that would be better
if it finally died. Somehow we keep on. It's just a cost of doing
business. If mobile operators can support it with their millions or even
billions of customers, I think everybody else can too. It's not like
ipv4 address depletion is a static problem either -- it's only going to
get worse as time goes on so it's what's really driving opex where v6 is
pretty much a one-off investment in comparison i'd think.
