Phillip, I still deal in a RS232 dial up market that is "mission critical" at every segment of the market place; from the hobbyist to mom&pop, to small to large commercial and government, level operational communications needs. Change is slow and as long as it remains cost effective and automatic with low support needs, etc, it's going to take a long time to dismantle the long time established infrastructure. I do feel there needs to be better education, not for the end-user, but for the communications market engineers, people like myself, those that develop and maintain the unified virtual communications applications. We also need funding and grants to assist with the migration. But in all honesty, their really hasn't been any market pressure to change and I doubt the ISP is going to take a chance with tortious interference lawsuits by long time well establishment businesses. I do agree the NAT should of been used as a carrot toward ipv6 in the same way i feel author domain policy should be used as a DKIM carrot to help establish a non-existing 3rd party trust market.
