There is no data which shows that IPv4 depletion accelerates IPv6 deployment. In fact there is actually evidence that the more resources (financial, human resources, infrastructures etc..) you have, the more likely one organisation / country has high penetration of IPv6. And even in those cases, most of these countries with high GDP have limited IPv6 penetration. Canada for example, a top 50 country of GDP per Capita has only 9,5% penetration (usage 5.5%) rate however ARIN has been in softlanding since 2007. Should we conclude that they were lazy or that depletion alone cannot be the only motivation for IPv6 deployment?</div><div><br></div><div>African ISPs have less means and resources than those in these countries. However we do have the advantage of remaining IPv4 ressources and in my opinion, we should use them carefully and wisely. Those resources allows us a breating room to plan for capacity building and v6 deployment. It might be slow but eventually we will get there. IPv4 depletion has not accelerated IPv4 deployment in richer countries, I do not believe accelerating depletion will accelerate it either in Africa.</div><div><br></div><div>IPv6 is inevitable and I believe we all agree on that.
