However this could be solved by the market if some ISPs offer v4-to-v6 gateway services to customers whose networks are pure v6. In the USA, I know of two hosting companies who are working on virtual machine services which will be able t import an existing IPv4 host and run it virtually with v6 connectivity because the v4-to-v6 gateway services are all handled by the container operating system. We are likely to see a number of services that offer to assist companies through the transition. The IPv6 transition will likely provide a small boost to the overall economy at a time when the economy needs all the help that it can get. --Michael Dillon
