Hi Mark
Agreed. I'm also surprised by the lack of take-up of IPv6 address
allocations. Perhaps AfriNIC could add incentive by not billing
anything for holding IPv6 address space (still charge the initial fee)
until we run out of IPv4. That way - it doesn't matter if people get
address space now or later - everyone starts to pay at the same time.
This should not effect the income stream of AfriNIC because the same
people will still be paying for IPv4 addresses - for quite a few years
still...
If its not going to effect the bean-counters of the IPS's that the
Techies work for - Techies will get their addresses.
If Techies have their IPv6 allocations/assignments - they'll want to
play with them.
Things may just happen (snowball) a little faster.
Does this call for a new policy ?. I think if you can put together a good
case for this and the community adopts the policy if it will help on the
adoption i see no reason.
I understand that topics like price fixing is done totally by the
Board of Directors/Internally at AfriNIC (etc) - and not so much by the
community.
Am I Wrong?
Do I think it (Price changing) would help promote IPv6? - Yes.
Will I do my part in speaking about IPv6? - I've given one presentation
- and gladly
do more (yes - I have volunteered for Morocco)
