Not to diminish your table or anything, but markets don't work in binary,
and the problem has been with access more than anything else. 
    

i am directly aware of latent address space needs that are 50X larger than
all of ipv4.  geoff huston's note hit this on the head.  "even at /29..."

  

For the moment what I'm working on is on ensuring that countries can get assigned a reasonable amount of IPv6 space. A lot of countries are below radar in the IPv6 assignement. When you have a population of less than 100,000 and when the IPv6 minimum allocation caters for every human, pig, horse, dog and grain of sand of that country....

Yes this is a NIC problem, but I wanted to let you know. APNIC is aware of the needs fo small countries in their constituency, I guess there is a similar problem in the carabean and other places...

Cheers
