Re: FCC proposes higher speed goals (100/20 Mbps) for USF providers

[Josh Luthman <josh () imaginenetworksllc com>]

CAF nor RDOF required IPv6.  BEAD doesn't say anything about IPv6.  I
seriously doubt v6 gets included into the conversation because even NANOG
can't agree it is needed.  The bigger concern are the people that have no
connectivity at all (no 1 mbps, no 25/3, no 100/20, no gigabit, etc).
