Re: kudos to comcast said by r81984:The only reason they HAVE to implement IPv6 is IPv4 addresses are running out and everything they have from your phone, to each set top box, to your cable modem needs it's own IP address. When you multiply that by the number of customers they either have then they have no choice but to go to at least a hybrid IPv6/IPv4 system or to do some fun network setups to share IPs. Um, So What? This would appear to be a case where Comcast's goals/desires and plans intersecting with a group of their customers and doesn't hurt their other customers. If they are deploying IPv6 for their on reasons and I still benefit, I still benefit. You could make the same argument about DS3 rollout. It benefits Comcast and me.
Judging by the later plans, where I see this going is that customers will be able to have their own IPv6 addresses natively, and share ipv4 addresses. Hopefully by the time we get there, the world is more much of a ipv6 everything place.
