Why do you keep dragging this in???  It's not relevant!!!  I control 
only my own network.  I simply get the subnet from someone else who 
worries about what's beyond.  I am not trying to control their routers.

Please explain what the cost difference is given there's no difference 
in transport cost and it takes just as much effort to configure a router 
for a small subnet as large.  There's no significant cost to IPv6 
addresses, because there are so many of them,  unlike IPv4 where there's 
not enough to support the demand.
