Owen,

Honest has a point.  The author used the Akamai state of internet study as
one of the data sources.  As a vocal proponent of accelerated IPv4
depletion in AFRINIC, what do you think of the opinions expressed in the
study?

It certainly doesn't support obsolescence of IPv4 as you promote.  Btw, so
we can compare, do you have any data that supports your view?

Like others,  I would like to see widespread v6 adoption but we do need to
be careful to explain the stats we provide especially for those who
advocate to other stakeholders.
