Analogies work both ways. In the '50s, a "great idea" was the helicopter parked in everyone's driveway. Or at the very least, nuclear powered cars. Yet here we are today, still driving on four wheels and four pneumatic tires, with internal combustion engines. > The people who buy, deploy and operate the technology of the Internet > are the customers of IPv6. See, that's not entirely the case. They are also people who merely specify the use of IPv6, without appreciating exactly what that means. And then there are those who must make that happen intelligently, so everything still works right and operates safely.
