<div>Noah - that argument is a falicy - companies typically announce 1 or 2 v6 prefixes as compared to 10s or 100s of v4 prefixes because the size of a single /32 is so huge and can be subnetted so deeply so there aren't thousands of smaller blocks floating
around.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">The argument you make therefore is completely misleading and a misnomer</div>

<div>I am not calling for softening and depleting IPv4 at this stage, but I don’t see any advantage to tightening it, either.</div>

<div>In fact, I would argue that by insisting on holding resources in the free pool for “possible future newcomers” you are, in effect, assigning them to organizations without any current proof of physical infrastructure in the AfriNIC service region to the
disadvantage of organizations that do currently have proof of infrastructure and a documented need for the addresses within the region today.</div>

<div dir="auto">IMHO, your premise is flawed, i<span style="font-family:sans-serif">n my experience (having worked for 3 SP startups and still do),</span> because we were all startups at some point when we involved ourselves in the business of connecting folk
to the internet and every iron that we fired up then and today needed and still needs at the very least an IPv4 address to connect to the internet. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In anycase, IPv6 internet is still developing sponteneously at almost 40k prefixes announced with a few case studies around the US, Europe, Asian and some parts of Africa and South America and could take another decade as long as telecoms around
the world still run CGN's. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">IMHO market forces and tech-dynamics (IoT) will push for IPv6 adoption and until then, the over a decade aggressive invetments in IPv4 internet will still stand even though most equipment and software today pretty much supports IPv6.</div>
