The article sure does have a lot of threatening and smack-down tones toward service providers (us):



"We're looking at a problem that's about to occur,""It occurs as service providers start to roll out V6."

Our fault, no one else's...
------------------------------------


"This is not a question of willful rejection,""ISPs are happy to do this. They're just lazy...It doesn't have a direct 
impact on them and their ability to get new address space because they don't need new address space." 

Yep, we're definitely the lazy ones.  No one else.
------------------------------------


"We're hoping through all of this you can come up with some self-regulatory method in which you can do it," "Because 
otherwise, there will be other things that people are going to consider." 

That's definitely a threat.
-------------------------------------


"We're hoping that people in the community seize the opportunity to work and to have that self-regulation, because, if 
not, if all of the different governments then get involved, it could get uglier." 

Yeah, that one, too.
-------------------------------------



Yep, that's the kind of attitude that fosters community cooperation.  Yep.  That's it...
