Re: [sig-policy] [Sig-policy] prop-062-v001: Use of final /8
Why not face the facts, IPv6 which was intended to supplant
IPv4, ain't selling. IMHO, for good reasons. So now that
IPv4 is nearly exausted, the scramble for alternitives has commenced.
For me, this is a huge opertunity which we are already capitalizing
upon. We have plenty of IPv8 space avaliable, and demand is
on the rise!
