  13. Let’s recap I need to get this sorted by the start of Q2 2011 because…

  14. IPv6 glue or customers will go! • The last five IPv4 blocks will be allocated by mid-2011 • Internet growth will need IPv6 • Domain registrants will to sell to people using IPv6 • So they will demand IPv6 glue • They’ll transfer if you don’t offer it Photo by Revisorweb
