Agree with all the above.<br>
<br>
The problem I've been speaking about in getting Africa on top of
IPv6 adoption is one of our own success. The majority of Internet
access in Africa happens over a GSM network (2G, 3G, 4G/LTE), which
represents millions of users in almost every African country. Sadly,
as of today, none of the major or small mobile operators in Africa
are taking IPv6 seriously at all.<br>
<br>
They continue to spend millions of $$ deploying, upgrading and
supporting CGN's, from vendors that have perfectly working IPv6
implementations, but won't shy away from multi-million $$ revenues
from these operators.<br>
<br>
Just by mobile operators in Africa seriously extending IPv6 to their
customers, I'm almost certain we will see a sudden and massive
decline in the demand and requirement of IPv4, in the same year! And
by extension, if the mobile operators get their customers on to
IPv6, it will pressure other non-mobile, terrestrial operators
(FTTB, FTTH, ADSL, hosting, e.t.c.) to get the act together, as they
will need to keep up with the mobile eye balls, a much easier task
for that side of the connection.<br>
<br>
If there are any mobile operators on this list, if you're listening,
I won't stop harping on about your role in keeping IPv4 a relevant
(or irrelevant) headache for Africa.<br>
<br>
Internet regulators in Africa on this list, if you're listening,
make IPv6 deployment on all mobile services a requirement for
license renewal, in lieu of trying to find new ways to squeeze more
money from mobile operators with no tangible benefit for the
end-user, and the continent as a whole.<br>
