Leading Internet prognosticator still pessimistic about IPv6

http://j.mp/M214OT  (Network World)

   "Geoff Huston, an Australian researcher whose predictions about IPv4
    depletion dates have proven uncannily accurate over the years, is
    still not certain that IPv6 will get deployed in time to avert an
    addressing crisis across the Internet.  Despite the success of last
    week's World IPv6 Launch Day - in which 60 access networks and 3,000
    websites including Google, Facebook and Yahoo enabled support for IPv6
    -- Huston says there hasn't been enough market momentum surrounding
    IPv6 to declare it a sure thing. While Huston concedes that the event
    caused a rise in IPv6 usage to about 1% in the United States, he says
    the protocol needs to be at a 20% usage rate to ensure that it will
    succeed."
