[governance] IPv4, R.I.P.: Europe hits old internet address limit

[Anupam Agrawal]

Hi Olivier
 
Indeed a true scenario and based on the volume projections of Internet, countries which have no Ipv4 are the best ones to have ipv6.

It's time that we all seriously start thinking in terms implementation.

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.
