[afripv6-discuss] What are the benefits of IPv6 over IPv4

[kodion at gmail.com]

My very first mail on this list.  I am looking at this from an NREN point of view which is arguably broader than any ISP in the region 

What are the realities of the region? 

I see awareness and increased demand for IP that v4 cannot satisfy, and wonder why there is any contention. 

What am I missing?

Just catching up

Yes.  The problem is that it hasn't convinced people up to now.  That 
message is not tuned to the realities of the region.

By charging for per IPv6 address (actual case). :-)
