I'm still reasonably disappointed in the lack of drive from 
retail providers to offer IPv6 to their customers, i.e., the 
broadband/consumer space.

Granted, it is a lot more challenging to deliver IPv6 to 
large scale consumers (more so in Africa, where a lot of 
consumers are running data off the mobile networks). 

But I think that deployment of IPv6 toward end customers in 
a manner where they do not have to directly participate in 
the process is where we shall see the most gains.

The old mantra still holds true - users don't care, as long 
as it works.
