Let me get this right. You are saying that India is not a late entrant
because when the first person from India got an internet connection there
were a lot of IP addresses available. Therefore, in your head, late entrant
has nothing to do with the fact that less than 20% of India has access to
Internet and that India is adding almost a million internet connections a
month. And you say our situation is "equitable" to Japan with 95% broadband
penetration and a major chuck of the IPv4 pool? Right. Ok. Agreed. There is
no inequity. You win.
