AfriNIC's available IPv4 address pool or the available IPv4 address space
in Africa is just a small part of the picture. Few people want to talk to
themselves. That is pretty boring. Once organisations in the rest of the
world can only get IPv6 address space and your clients or students want to
communicate with them over the internet, browse their web sites, or
whatever, and then cannot... What are you going to tell your clients or
students? Sorry they use IPv6 addresses, but don't worry we have enough
IPv4 addresses, we will not run out? I doubt if they will be happy with
such an answer.
