The big difference between IPv4 initial policies and IPv6 initial policies is that with IPv4 there were no policies to speak of in the early days.

this is not really true. viet nam was not in the early days at all
Er - yes. That's why I said "later".
and the cause of the small allocation was techno-colonialiasm by telco.
Is a techno-colonialiasm the end result of some sort of musical/military fetish? On reflection I think I was wrong about the /26 anyway. It would have been much less. The first Internet-like connection into Vietnam, around 1992, was dialup links from the Australian National University and basically just carried email. It was probably just a few end-point addresses. By the time there was anything properly Internetty into Vietnam it was the late 90s.
