[afripv6-discuss] FW: [ipv6-members] Fwd: Is the Transition to IPv6 a "Market Failure?"

[Kondwani C. Hara]

Hello all,

This is my first contribution.

I also see a problem with the transition based on Market Value. And
indeed it does compare with millenium bug.

It does encourage a lot of meetings and no action for nobody really
knows how to put theory into practice after all the trainings.

I guess it is time to just act and face what seems to be fears now. In
the end each situation faced has a solution and some can't be known
until encountered. But for these too there will be solution.

Its good we have these forums. We can share experiences as we go. It
starts with action.

Kondwani.
