Not so fast.

You forget that just like the IPv4 Internet, the IPv6 Internet will also
sponteneously developed. Nothing happens over night to so many fundamental
factors.

Look at the history of Internet development across the world in each
continent and what factors were at play per continent in fostering the
Internet.

The small group of Internet Elites here in tend to undermine a lot of this
other factors.

We had satellite for ages then the fiber optic came. We all embraced to new

lit.
