I can't imagine any government to require anyone to support IPv6, one particular protocol, explicitly, and even less to require anyone to shut down still-working IPv4. If you can't even convince technical people to migrate, how will you get majorities in a Parliament for this? This is just not going to happen, hands down. Although it may be a good thing in this particular case, I think requiring usage of one particular technology by law (a protocol or something else) is dangerous. Imaginge they made a law that required companies to adopt IPv4 and shut down their X.25 or whatever they had before. Maybe it would have been nice to have such a law in the 80s and 90s, but what about today? It's hard enough to get rid of a protocol that's not required by law. Companies just need to _feel_ that IPv4 isn't going to get them very far anymore and that it's better to prepare for the future now because its better to have options rather than to need them when the time has come. -- Jordan A.
