I am wondering where the issue of cost comes in. Most hardware nowadays is already implemented with ipv6. Information on how to migrate is available all over. 
According to this:

http://www.fiercetelecom.com/story/it-pros-take-ipv6-migration-their-own-hands/2010-06-01

Some IT Pros are already implementing it in their home networks. Organisation fail to implement it because of unjustified costs. 

Organisations already have IT departments to do these changes. As I have already said hardware already has it enabled. Where then would the cost come from?

I think we might as well go on deploy and at any level organisation or ISP. With dual stack and/or tunnelling technics available.

Hi Kondwani,

The Y2K was just a monumental bug to fix and agree industry has exploited it
to make money.

The integration of IPv6 is work for progress. Afrinic offers practical
trainings to the African ISPs who are the first
that need it to move. IPv6 is first a plumbing exercise in the
infrastructure of the Internet.

IPv6 will and should be transparent to the end-users.

Cheers
Latif

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.
