Michael, New entrants typically want to see predictable prices or else > they simply don't enter. I think you are underestimating the amount of uncertainty that is dealt with in business plans. > After a transfer scheme is in place, and speculators > take up the remaining free pool, the price of IPv4 will be wildly > unpredictable. That situation will block new entrants. No, it will make it more risky to do so. What _will_ block new entrants is no new IPv4 being available at all, never mind at currently unknown prices. > However, there is another aspect which involves IPv6. Large ISPs are > already deploying IPv6 trials in order to be prepared for the day > when they cannot grow their networks with IPv4. "already deploying IPv6 trials" Should be production ready, oh when would you say, then? > This means, that a new entrant > into the Internet business, can realistically use IPv6 technology > and expect to be able to buy full connectivity to all IPv4 and IPv6 > Internet sites from one of the larger ISPs. Thank you for elucidating (quite clearly!) the problem. > They will leave that to the larger upstream ISPs Great stuff! Even clearer.
