How? Ok simple. We will try to start the Farmer 2 truck which has a dead battery, with the battery of the Farmer 3 truck and then replace back accordingly once the engine of the Farmer 2 truck has started. All things being equal, both trucks would get to the market and 2/3 of the customers should be satisfied. Allowing Farmer 3 to go to the market ALONE because he had a good truck to meet the needs of his customers is not only selfish but unpatriotic and unAfrican (if only that's correct)!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Seun already mentioned that it's only a matter of time before the big players are even forced to go V6 anyways, since they won't be able to acquire enough V4.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">In all, I also share the view that there is no need to rush to meet the excessive demands out there in the name of trying to "deplete our ipv4" so that we can go v6. While it is important for us all to have the reality on ground (which we all do now by the way, v6 is the next BIG thing!), it should be a gradual and smooth transition that the whole community should be aware of and duly carried along and not some sort of people playing the good boys to satisfy their pockets and ego while making us belief they are trying to be patriotic. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I don't think we are going to hurt "EVERYONE" by being fair, open and sensitive to our community by introducing these artificial constraints as Andrew put it.
