My explicit role in my organization is to ensure adequate IP Addressing to support service growth and new service introduction. I believe without a doubt that the only way I will be successful in that mandate is to position IPv6 as the vehicle so that the IP Addresses are there.

My organization is taking the steps necessary to get that transition happening, so we are not unwilling. I can tell you that with certain services, we might well be unable to transition before IPv4 exhaust hits, but my focus is to transition the high growth services. I want to make sure that the other services which may take longer to transition have the IP Addresses available, as I am sure every other admin POC out there is trying to ensure.

I don't protest for the sake of demanding unfair privileges on the behalf of large ISPs. I protest a policy that says everyone can have their needs completely met except for one group, which can't even have a reasonable fraction of their need met.

Respectfully,
Matthew Wilder

ARIN地域でもIP移転の議論は喧々諤々。
この地域はInternetに初期から参加している企業が多く、そういう企業は
IPv4アドレスを巨大ブロックで保有していることが多い。それゆえ、IPv4枯渇にも
関心が薄かった。
今になって猛烈な勢いで議論している。それはやはり豊富に持っているIPv4を資産化
する為なのか、と邪推してしまう。
あとはスタートアップ企業の設立コストの上昇にも跳ね返るか。
