Why do people still think consumers 'want IPv6', they want IPv6 as much as they want IPv4. They don't know what an IP addresses is, let alone will grasp the whole idea there are 2 kinds. All they want is their googles, facebooks, twitters and the occasional download to work (of course nobody would admit to filesharing). And it's our job to make it so, wether it's via IPv6 or CGN. In the end they won't have much choice and if we do our jobs correctly, 95 % of them won't even notice. Just my 2 cents, MarcoH
