Yes.

During a conversation with vendor X, it was mentioned that some 
hardware was donated for an IXP in country Y.  Vendor X then asked 
how are things in country Y.  It's easier not to answer such a 
question than to say that that country Y was only pushing around 256 
Kbits/sec through the IXP.

Sometimes the problem is about money.  Sometimes the problem lies elsewhere.

There is an "ipv6webinar" next week where Sonatel will talk about its 
IPv6 experience.

The above looks ok.  The web server is not accessible over IPv6.  The 
IPv6 adoption rate in Senegal is 0%.
