Tom & crew, I just wanted to write in quickly about the coming changeover to IPv6. All recent Operating Systems support IPv6 natively, that is to say XP SP1 and forward, Vista, Apple OS X 10.4 & 10.5 and most flavors of Linux. With that said, the changeover shouldn't really be of any concern to consumers. Most carriers, my company included, plan to run both IPv6 and IPv4 in tandem for quite some time--worst case, the consumer may need to update the firmware on their router our but an new one. From the carrier perspective it isn't about simply updating the firmware on a $49 router; there's hundreds of hours of engineering and millions of dollars of equipment required to make the switch.

In any case, if you're interested, I happen to be fairly close with someone on the board of ARIN, the group that actually distributes IP addresses and determines policy. He may be an interesting interview for the show. Regards, Matt in New Jersey
