So fulfilling IPv4 address space needs in the North American region should be, give or take, as cheap or expensive, as easy or complicated as anywhere else. So this effect might only be very loosely coupled at best. How about assuming that the US, North America in general, is simply again leading the pack in eventually deploying a not-so-new-any-longer technology? They have done this already in the past, so I have heart. ;-) Best, -C. </blockquote></div> </div>
