Just want to add one more fun factor to the list
IPv4 address exhaustion will kick in early next year, making it nearly impossible to get new IPv4 addresses, forcing emerging companies and new tech over on IPv6 at last.
Just about any player in the market is prepared for this, not much prevents any ISP from switiching to IPv6 only on the customers since 99.99% of the installed systems of the user base run OSes and software that is prepared and with the preasure that is coming, many service providers that have been experimenting with IPv6 will finally set them in production.
Many OSX and Windows users here probably use IPv6 already withuout knowing it, via automatic tunnelling techniques like Teredo (default turned on since Windows Vista) and 6to4 (Apple's Airports have been doing this since 2007).
One example is that as of today, the 26th of october 2010, more than 70 norwegian news sites will be available on IPv6.
And how is this related to Amiga?
There is no IPv6 support in amiga land what-so-ever, the writings on the wall have been ignored for 10+ years - soon enough people will have other worries than just their browser not being up-to-date. The only developer who ever spoke of doing IPv6 stack for Amiga was Holder Kruse, but that ofcourse never materialized.
