I like this document. I also think it will be needed to point out that automatic transition mechanism are already allowing IPv6 traffic to be there, despite the slow level of deployment in the last mile. Regarding the ROI, it should be pointed out that the ROI may not be the "usual" business case, but the ability of just keep running the business and keep connecting to customers/suppliers.

Title : IETF Statement on IPv4 Exhaustion and IPv6 Deployment Author(s) : T. Narten Filename : draft-narten-ipv6-statement-00.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2007-11-12 Over the last year, the Internet community has slowly come to realize that the IANA and RIR IPv4 free address pool will be exhausted within no more than 3-4 years, and possibly sooner. At that point, it will become increasingly difficult for ISPs and end sites to obtain the public IPv4 address space they need to expand operations. IPv6 was developed to address the IPv4 address exhaustion problem, but widespread deployment has barely begun. This document reiterates the IETF's support and continued commitment to IPv6. IPv6 deployment is still necessary to ensure the continued growth and expansion of the Internet. Deployment of IPv6 is needed to preserve important Internet properties that have made it a success and enable new generations of applications and services.

Send a message to: mailserv@xxxxxxxxx In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-narten-ipv6-statement-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
