Izumi san, Would like to hear your own views on how much of a crisis this issue is (when ipv4 runs out), if it is one/will be one. Also your views on how it will affect developing countries (like China, India, most of Asia, Africa where current internet penetration is quite low and most of future growth in devices will be) And how we (developing countires) can influence the discussions/processes so that their 'users' don't suffer for want of ip numbers...
