Izumi and all,

  I am afraid Randy is 100% correct.  After years of working in
IPv6 myself and in general address allocation issues from time
to tame for many years, Randy has clearly demonstrated through
much empirical evidence to be correct in his assertions.

  That said however, the problem with IPv6 is in part the protocol
and it's implementation aspects itself, and part the concerns of over
allocation to some LIR's and RIR's, which has proven to be
true with IPv4 and goes back even prior to 1996.  Now there
is discussion about a "Black Market" for IP addresses which
is very troublesome.  Again though much of this developing
problem is based in disagreement between RIR's and the
IANA.  Why is that not a surprise?
