What’s your point Owen?  That Noah isn’t correct that fossil fuels will continue to be relevant despite your 31 panels?  I have deployed a few more than you by the way.

Please, lets dispel with the hype that IPv4 is dead despite our shared aspirations for IPv6 and contend with the reality.  The US has seen an increase in both v6 deployments and IPv4 trading.  Gabe Fried of Hilco Streambank and Alan Durand presented data on the situation in AFRINIC and elsewhere to guide us.  I suggest you look at that or provide data to support your opposing arguments.

Btw,  I was on the same flight out with Gabe and he is happy to provide an update in Mauritius so lets stick with facts.  Opinions don’t count.   It is clear is that IPv4 will continue to be relevant for all regions….that’s why folks who claim IPv4 is dead are confusingly proposing transfer policies for same resource.   More importantly, the final /8 only exists because of the basic principle of equitable distribution.  Anything contrary is disingenuous and misleading.
