I believe that Sony will offer IPv6 software upgrades for the PS-3 because they will eventually realize that failing to do so is bad for future sales. >> From up here at 30,000ft, the entire deployment of IPv6 has been cripplingly > mismanaged, or we wouldn't be having all these conversations, still, now. > Having had them 5 years ago would have been well more than good enough. > And it will start to bite, hard, very shortly. > An interesting perspective. The problem with that theory is that nobody actually manages the internet. It is a collection of independently managed networks that happen to coordinate, cooperate, and collaborate on a limited basis to make certain things work. I agree with you that many organizations and individuals could have acted differently to achieve a more optimal transition. However, they didn't and we are where we are. As a result, I think it is far more productive to move forward and make the transition as quickly and effectively as possible than to dwell on claims of "mismanagement" which lack both a meaningful target and any form of useful resolution.
