</div>to paraphrase a wise soul who came to the microphone during the academic policy discussion last thursday: "...don't try to use policy to fix an operational issue..."<br>
(my words, not his). it seemed, at the time, that people generally agreed with that sentiment. this idea strikes me as no different.<br>
<br>
those who see the need for IPv6, will deploy it. AfriNIC is trying to spread the word; let them continue their good work.<br>
as for the NAT'ters as such...to paraphrase another wise soul: "i encourage all my competitors to run their businesses that way"<br>
using policy, in the loose manner you describe, is not likely to generate the result you want. others have already explained this before.<br>
