Hi Victor,
Of course, I see your points and I’m not saying that IETF has nothing to
do with that, neither that it applies the same to every possible country
case. It was just part of this discussion.
I’ve worked for a few governments, on this, with more or less success
depending on the case, and most of the time is a matter of the right
schedule, not saying the existing services should support IPv6 tomorrow,
but “new” or “updated” services should do it in a given timing. This was
my point 1.
Regarding 2, I think if a country ban importing or selling IPv4-only
products, with a determined time scale (to be studied case by case), is
perfectly valid and not impacting global Internet at all. Existing IPv4
services can remain. Products in stock can be sold during “n” months,
not afterwards.
Example, SmartTVs without IPv6 could be sold during 6 additional months,
not imported anymore after 3 months, etc.
Have e.g. 3G-only mobile phones been banned? Or do users *opt* not to
buy such phones for a reason? (there might be an implicit message in the
possible answer to this question).
Thanks,
