For a country having a v4 pool of IP addresses ~3 times the
number of its population, why on earth would they think about
IPv6 seriously (taking into account the cost vs. revenue
structure it currently possesses for them and the fact that the
rest of the world has other more important issues to deal with
such as accessing the Internet itself).</div>

<br>
If you look at the Internet using the current prism, of course
there's no real need to move to IPv6.<br>
But then consider the day when a whizz kid will invent a killer app
that needs native IPv6 to run and that everyone and their dog will
want to have. What then? Implementing IPv6 takes time and
investment, we all know, and those who will not be ready will be
crying about how unfair the Internet is, just like many are crying
today... many of whom laughed at the Internet in 1992.<br>
