This may be interesting if you want to take a look at models of adoption of
technology.

As you know, the value of a network is roughly proportional to
the square of the participants.

The value of a network can depend on what is on it, not how many or who.  One
useful (http/ftp/...) server can make a network worth accessing, worth paying
for.  Even if there was noone else on this Internet, even if I never wanted to
e-mail anyone or anything, there are servers worth paying to access.

I saw the Internet explode in the 1990s because of web servers, not because
n**2
people could now talk to each other, so I think this a general point..

By contrast, IPv6, like 3G mobile, has nothing worth getting access to; they
are
just bits of technology with no applications worth accessing.  Have a look at
models of the adoption of technology.
