I would like to see this text explicitly mention both "deployment of
IPv6 network access" and "deployment of IPv6 transitional measures".
Otherwise, decisionmakers will think that it is sufficient to offer an
IPv6 version of their IPv4 access product. That is not too hard to do,
but it doesn't deliver what most customers want, which is access to the
whole Internet, IPv4 and IPv6. That is where deployment of transitional
measures become important, and I would argue, that they are more
important right now than deploying IPv6 access services because the
transitional measures solve problems that are happening right now with
native IPv6 in OS/X and Vista.
