Hello Brian - I acknowledge the amount of inertia. And I would be
very inert myself as an ISP at this point in the game. But if the IETF
work is done, and e.g. here in Japan, JPNIC officially announces things,
and the trade press runs articles and surveys (they do tons of
statistics here in Japan, there is a magazine that comes out
every month telling you at what time of the day which access
points of which provider are how buisy), how many ISPs would
resist how long?
Regards, Martin.
