We're arrogant, we "own" the Internet and since we own all of the original Class A networks, the rest of the world can go to hell. We're fine with IPv4, Copper instead of fiber and Betamax.

You can bet we'll start rolling out IPv6 right around when we start running out of the 32-bit addresses. As a nation we're very reactive, never proactive. |

Ever heard of DARPA? Google that and see who came up with the idea of the Internet first.
In addition, a ton of stuff used by NASA are common household products now. |

By the time the 32-bit addresses would be running out, the rest of the world will have switched to IPv6 already and the US will have the entire pool of IPv4 addresses all for itself.  No need to change at all. |

That and can you imagine gamers Online.
Whats your IP
"2031:0000:130F:0000:0000:09C0:876A:130B"
Missed it, what was it again?
"2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130B"
What, that's not the same address you gave me before!!
"They are the same thing!"
Oh OK.
10min later
Still not finding you
"I broke it down some more try 2031:0:130F::9C0:876A:130B"
What!!! 2031:0:130F::9C0:876A:130B = 2031:0000:130F:0000:0000:09C0:876A:130B
This is insain!!!!!!!!!!
hehe once we switch to IPv6 EVERY-thing is going to need to be done by domain names.
That means we need to make DNS more secure DHCP more reliable and the INTERNET as a whole. More stable! |

Actually, those on the right don't need to pay for blessings from God, that would be like a metal band paying for sex.

| Still have a lot of v4 ips to give out...
Looking at the current bogon lists, there are still many class A netblocks being bogoned for one reason or another.
I think with careful managing, IPv4 should be around for awhile without running out of addresses.
This isn't to say IPv6 has a lot of improvements, but I just don't see the benefits outweighing the time and costs to switch to v6 right now.
totally my opinion, and i'm not too familiar with the internet as a whole, so dont flame me.....
