We have now run out of IPv4 addresses.               AV> I hope now they will take back IPv4 address blocks from ISPs who don't        AV> assign IPv6 addresses to their customers or, even worse, try to charge        AV> money for it.              I certainly would like to see some more pressure on ISPs to get moving with       IPv6, but I don't think it is in RIPE's power to reclaim once issued IPv4       space.              I wish I had magic powers that could enhance IPv6 adoption. But, alas I have       not. All I have is a tiny bit of power of persuasion to entice my fellow       Fidonet sysops to try "bottom up".              Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 19/10 90/1 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5006 5555 292/854 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 423/120 460/58 633/280 640/1384 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250 5019/40 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426           |
