    Sorry to be a bit shirty, but I really object to the notion of talking
    in terms of nation states adopting v6 (except in terms of gov't
    networks of course, and policy incentives, etc).  Network operators
    decide when and how to deploy, they just happen to operate in nation
    states.

    </rant>
    Agree, but in countries where the state has taken the initiative
    to be an enabler and not enforcer IPv6 adoption has progressed
    much faster than in those that have waited for the Network
    operators, China for instance.

     pertaining to IPv6 under the following

    I don't know, Badru was trying to get them to get a v6 alloc for the
    gov't fiber, haven't heard if this happened.  AFAIK, BoU is the only
    gov entity that has any v4 space!

    $whois -h whois.afrinic.net <http://whois.afrinic.net> is your friend.

    4 have v6, zero in use (announced to world):

    > c)    Advocacy / Promotion and sensitization ventures

    UG/EAIGF?  i-network has has some discussions around it, and AfriNIC
    has conducted some trainings in UG over the last 5 years.

    It could be good if LUG/UIXP did a workshop for folks who want an
    introduction.

    People like Tinka, Ernest, Hari, Noah are all pretty conversant with
    it....one of them should be in town eventually, if not now!

Agree as well, actually Mark, Noah, Badru and a couple of others I have previously engaged off list have been very helpful thus far :)

    It's not rocket science.  Tinka did a great prezo on his lessons
    learned at last AfNOG, Google should know where it is.
