   Hello Markus,

   Not just the big ones I'd say. And it is not limited to IPv6. Not a new thing   
   either. What we see is that the managers - the ons who decide how the money is   
   spend - don't stay in the seat for the rest of their lives. They move on after   
   a couple of years. As a consequence they are not interested in what happens   
   over five years. They want e return on investment before the end of next   
   year...   
      
    MR> Their customer service sucks already and a sudden increase of service   
    MR> calls by customers about an IPv6 migration would become a nightmare.   
    MR> As long as it works and makes money there's no reason to spend money   
    MR> for IPv6.   
      
   Indeed. The fact that the longer they wait, the more expensive it will get,   
   does not bother those that make the decisions. Apres nous le deluge...   
      
    MR> And this not just true for the large US telcos but also for tons of   
    MR> other companies.   
      
   With a few exceptions. Such as T-Mobile US... :-)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
