I am not sure that criticism is justified. On both accounts.

These statistics: http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/28/

.   .. do not support your claim that the ISPs in the US are slower with IPv6 
than those in Europe. On the contrary I'd say. Here the big ones are still 
dragging their feet while the big ones across the pond, especially the mobiles 
are well on their way.

Also all the big content providers are reacheable via IPv6. So how does one 
control the customers - that all have IPv6 - by doing "tricks" with their IPv4 
access?

Dropping IPv4 and going IPv6 only makes sense. That it involves some "tricks" 
to accomodate "legacy", tricks that may have some negative side effects, should 
be an incentive for the conservatives to get moving.


Cheers, Michiel
