    Will IPv6 ever actually happen, to end users anyway?

    Seems to me more like perl v6, i.e. a big boy's toy they've been tinkering with for literally 20 years now and still no sign of general use.

    As I've pointed out here before, I think there's a big incentive for ISPs and suchlike not to make IPv6 addresses readily available to end users. Otherwise these companies will lose control of the Cloud.
