Taking my AFRINIC hat off,

Personally, I think that the greatest danger is not that African ISPs
will not transition to  IPv6 at some point, but rather that they tend
to abuse NAT. I see many of our ISPs choosing to implement NAT for
IPv6 just like they did for IPv4, as that's the mindset.


We have one ISP in Mauritius which is selling a 3g-based Internet box
which has a private IPv4 address to SMEs/SOHOs. I can't portforward to
run SSH on that internet connection, and of course doing an IPv6
tunnel is impossible through that box.
