Do you have IPv6 connectivity on your machine? If not, how do you expect to
open a session between you and them? (this was explained in the lecture...)

(Do you want IPv6 connectivity and don't want to wait until Israeli ISPs
wake up? See http://ipv6.he.net )

By the way, I wonder what Wikipedia will do with IPv6 addresses? Will

Why not? An IP is an IP...

I believe it will still be the choice of the providers. There's no technical
reason not to assign any customer a static prefix with many IPs... as there
would be "enough for everybody", and they won't have an excuse on that one
anymore. Of course, there's always the monetary reason (why not make money
off our customers, selling them a $0/mo. worth service at $10/mo. price?)
