You guys are talking across each other.

Honest’s point may be that, but the presentation he referenced doesn’t say what 
Honest said.

It says that there is a correlation between GDP and IPv6 uptake, but that there 
are pretty glaring anomalies even in that conclusion.

Andrew is wondering how you equate a correlation in GDP to somehow meaning a 
lack of correlation in IPv4 depletion. The presentation provided no evidence of 
any such lack of correlation.

If there is a lack of understanding, then it is among you and Honest because 
the presentation referenced by Honest does not say what you are now claiming it 
says.

Which she are we referring to here? The one who gave the presentation at LACNIC?

If that is the case, then her conclusion is orthogonal to what we have said 
about IPv4 depletion. Her conclusion is that there is a correlation between 
gross domestic product per capita and IPv6 uptake. In other words, the 
wealthiest nations are more likely to be early adopters of technology.

This isn’t exactly startling news.

However, it’s completely orthogonal to the question of whether lack of IPv4 
resources drives IPv6 adoption. Currently there isn’t a meaningful lack of IPv4 
resources anywhere except Asia. Even in Asia, they still remain relatively 
inexpensive, though costs are rising. We are seeing rising IPv6 adoption rates 
since APNIC, RIPE, and ARIN ran out of IPv4 addresses in their free pool. There 
are statistics to support this.

For example.

So, the presentation you and Honest use to “prove” your point is orthogonal to 
your point. That’s Andrew’s point.
I’ve now provided you with clear statistics showing that IPv6 uptake is 
accelerating since depletion.

Can we now stop arguing over whether IPv4 depletion drives IPv6 adoption or not 
and get back to the real business at hand… Getting IPv6 deployed before IPv4 
melts down into a puddle of NATd scrambled bits with no meaning left?
