AfriNIC's available IPv4 address pool or the available IPv4 address
space in Africa is just a small part of the picture. Few people want
to talk to themselves. That is pretty boring. Once organisations in
the rest of the world can only get IPv6 address space and your
clients or students want to communicate with them over the internet,
browse their web sites, or whatever, and then cannot... What are you
going to tell your clients or students? Sorry they use IPv6
addresses, but don't worry we have enough IPv4 addresses, we will
not run out? I doubt if they will be happy with such an answer.
The few persons I have talked to find the picture overwhelming or
unconvincing. I had to explain to a government official that the
internet is not Facebook. I'll copy this message to Logan as he can
confirm whether it is true or not. I'll remind a few of my clients
of the advice I have given previously if they ask me about
IPv6-related problems. A few reporters might call me for an analysis
or to verify the information they have been given.
I agree that a few people talking to themselves is pretty boring. It
is a huge effort to discuss about that and it is currently not in my
interest to put in that effort.
