You first, mister chicken-with-his-head-cut-off.

What's your plan?

Mike owns Hurricane Electric.  HE.net has the most v6 routes, peering,  
and pretty much any other metric you can dream up.  His .sig says  
"Wholesale IPv4 and IPv6 Transit".  What do you think his plan is?

More important question: Perhaps you should spend 15 seconds  
researching things before you send obviously ignorant comments to 10K  
of your not-so-close friends?

Since nobody mentioned it yet, there are now less than 1000 days

Do you have an IPv6 plan?

How long do you think it will be until Sarbanes Oxley and SAS 70  
auditors
start requiring disclosure of IPv4 exhaustion as a business  
continuity
risk, as well as the presence or lack thereof of an IPv6 plan?

When do you plan on telling your customers?  (afterwards?)

Ahhh, you don't have any customers that have to plan to buy  
equipment 2
years in advance.  Ok, I understand.

Mike.
ps. 1000 days assumes no rush, speculation, or hoarding.  Do people  
do
that?

pps. Of course these are provocative comments for amusement.  :)

ppps. Or not if you don't have any kind of IPv6 plan.  Sorry,  
sorry...

Would you like a little bit of legal advice?
NEVER let a scientist use the words "unanticipated" and "immediate"  
in the
same sentence.
Okay? Okay.
