While not wanting to spoil a good discussion with facts, there is a presentation on Comcast's plans for IPv6 from a recent NANOG here: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0606/durand.html The summary is 20 million customers * 2.5 set-tops/customer * 2 IPs/box = 100million IPs The network design requires unique IPs. The ran out of 10net in 2005 and have got a large part of 73net from ARIN. Their long term solution (new services = more IPs/customer) is IPv6. Richard.
