Brian,
My comment was regarding a head in the sand approach when it comes to the
recurring themes that the developing world can't IP address space, whether it
is v4 or v6. The fact is that they can get it from the RIR like those in the
developed regions can get it from their RIRs. The real problem, in other words,
putting head in sand, is to substitute this address space access issue for the
real one of what can the recipients of the address space do with it when they
get, particularly if they have no hardware to run it on, no electricity to
power it, and no upstream willing to route it. It is those issues that need to
be hit head on if the Internet is to really grow in the developing regions of
the globe.

Ray,
I don't think it's quite fair to refer to ostriches
when ARIN is already on record:
http://www.arin.net/v6/v6-resolution.html
Also, for those who like to see things in real time,
there's always http://penrose.uk6x.com/

that has to rank as one of the most bizarre statements that's ever

More of an ostrich than a herring?
