   Hello Bj”rn,   
      
   On Monday July 30 2018 02:04, you wrote to me:

   I am not sure that criticism is justified. On both accounts.   
      
   These statistics: http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/28/   
      
   .   .. do not support your claim that the ISPs in the US are slower with IPv6   
   than those in Europe. On the contrary I'd say. Here the big ones are still   
   dragging their feet while the big ones across the pond, especially the mobiles   
   are well on their way.   
      
   Also all the big content providers are reacheable via IPv6. So how does one   
   control the customers - that all have IPv6 - by doing "tricks" with their IPv4   
   access?   
      
   Dropping IPv4 and going IPv6 only makes sense. That it involves some "tricks"   
   to accomodate "legacy", tricks that may have some negative side effects,   
   should be an incentive for the conservatives to get moving.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
