It's unfortunate for me that nobody is interested in talking about the question I asked in light of the data i supplied. The question being, is it possible for a mobile operator to offer an IPv6-only service today to casual Internet users on new devices with new service plans?
Yes it is possible. Yes you will exclude some segment of customers today.
Perhaps it is just a rhetorical question because the video obviously shows it is possible. But, i am legitimately interested in perceived service gaps or issues, given this tightly controlled service definition (web and email).
I think the phones stopped being "tightly controlled" with the iPhone and Android phones. They expect generic IP connectivty, and are very much not web and e-mail only. Moreso than an IPv6 only provider, a web and e-mail only provider would probbaly find themselves at a huge disadvantage to a significant and growing segment of the market. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
