Completely agree.

Especially in Africa, where the majority of consumer Internet is
delivered over mobile networks, the potential to quickly get traffic on
to an IPv6 transport on the continent is real and great.

Unfortunately, I have not seen or heard of any initiatives from any of
the African mobile operators on their implementation of IPv6 in their
core backbones, for their services or to consumer mobile devices. If
things are, indeed, happening, please come out of the woodwork and make
some noise. We are eager to listen and support.
