But when there will be IPv4 resources available (for an currently 
unknown price, but available...) those new entrants will at least have a 
choice. Those that think the price for v4 is too high will buy a service 
from an ISP that does have v4 resources, and those that are willing to 
pay the price for v4 will be able to avoid buying that service. This 
seems a much healthier situation than forcing all new entrants to buy v4 
services.

But without a way to get v4 resources there will be no IPv4 entrants...
