Hi: IPv4 is 40 years old. IPv6 is 25 years old. In Internet time, both are old timers.
25 years to not achieve global domination opens the door to become obsoleted before it does. Pretty sure that would be more bad than good.
The rest of the world will follow the evolution because there's not enough IPv4 for Africa or Asia anyway. I see the analogy with the industrial revolution, England stuck to coal and steam when the world that had nothing moved on.
Some weight to lend to your theory would be if Africa and Asia IPv6 numbers are outpacing everywhere else. Google numbers suggest that is not at all the case, with the notable exception of Saudia Arabia and India and even Gabon.
Perhaps you have better or different numbers. We could use some good news.
Which side are you on? Pascal
The "side" thing is the problem here. The objective is a stable and maximally usable internet, both now and in the future.
