Hi, Forrest:

1) "  if you have IPv6 service and I have IPv6 service, our IPv6 devices 
can talk directly to each other without needing any VPN or similar. ":

Thanks. So, is it true that the reason IPv4 could not do so is solely 
because it does not have enough static addresses for every subscriber?

2)    " ...  taking other security/safety steps.  (Like the PSTN, the 
internet can be tapped).  ":

Agreed. However, the extra steps should be for those who have some 
secret to hide. In the PSTN days, most traffic was voice and no 
encryption. For the Internet, everything is digitized. Distinguishing 
among voice and data becomes extra work. So, I see the tendency to 
encrypt everything.
