Keith,

Thank you for your input. I have looked at various angles on this but
end up at a dead-end every time. As in my earlier postings looking at
IPv6 and the many obvious advatages in QoS, multicast, routing, address
space, mobility, etc, there is always an IPv4 solution for this. The
solution may be a dodgy patch, not as streamlined or designed from the
ground up as the IPv6 version, but it works and John Q. Public is not
going to rush out now or even look at including an IPv6 subnet in  his
current IPv4 setup.

The key word here is 'now'. Perhaps later or of course when 3G networks
are available, but when?. A good example is to look at the Y2K issue.
Most companies started addressing the issue at the last minute only. And
this could possibly be the path with the IP address shortage issue.

So what compelling enough reason can be presented to Mr. John here for
him to even consider IPv6. Even start looking at a staggered transition
plan. Or even hardware/software developers -most of these are either
from Europe and Japan.
