That is not a fault of the technology. How would v6 address 
such an issue (no pun intended)? 

They still have to get their own address space, as well as 
install the DirectAccess infrastructure, train their IT and 
users on how to use it, get native v6 access, if they can't 
get native v6 access, have a transition mechanism setup, 
e.t.c.

VPN's transported over v4 or v6 isn't the issue. Sure, 
DirectAccess is very interesting and might make our lives 
easier, but it doesn't solve any problems today that a 
little diligence won't.

So someone walks up to a minister at an ITU meet and goes, 
"Oh, so why do you use Yahoo! Mail to talk to your office 
back home?" The minister replies, "Oh, because we don't have 
IPv6 yet, but it's coming..."

:-).

Cheers,

Mark.
