True, this is (or should be) a no brainer. Additionally with the should
someone decided to give RFID chips an IP stack, IPv6 will be the only
sustainable source of addresses.

I was more concerned about applications within the enterprise that give IPv6
and edge of IPv6. Knowing the pain most people go with VPNs and IF
Microsoft's Direct Access (and a similar open source technology) can make
that pain go away, I believe lots it might be such a killer application.

Do we have anything in the multimedia/VoIP arena that is better with v6 than
with v4?
