=> I think we're drifting from the main issue
a little bit. Here is a scenario that I'd like
to understand how it would work:
What do we recommend a new small 3g operator who only
has 10 million subscribers (just a small town
in china!) and wants to allow people to run p2p apps:
a. Run a dual network with 1918 addresses
b. Just run an IPv6 network
If people want to do a), do you really think
this would be simpler than b) ? Easier to manage
and operate?
