At the LISA confrence in December (www.usenix.org)
there was much discussion of this "When will IPV6
really happen?"
The concensus was that it would not get off the ground
until Cisco started using it internally.
So I know the cisco gal in the conversation
actually went back to the VP of something and
said this to him.
In addition, the sense I got from the meeting
was that the wireless apps would drive IPV6 onto
the market place. Perhaps Sony is the first step in this.
