I can imagine the ISPs         KW> pushing something like this instead of opening up the network.              i don't see that happening... i see IPv6 taking a bit longer to be implemented       but it is coming... they want more $$$ and IPv6 will give that to them if they       are allowed to bill for each device connected... most folks aren't aware of       how much they are being ripped off every day in so many ways...              )\/(ark              ---         * Origin: (1:3634/12.42)    |
