IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the helping-the-national-debt dept.

darthcamaro writes "There are alot of reasons why the US isn't moving as quickly as Japan and Europe in migrating to IPv6. One of those reasons is likely cost. An article on Internetnews.com cites an unreleased 'Dept. of Commerce report estimating it will take $25-$75 billion to pay for the transition.'"

  1. A LOT is TWO WORDS by deafpluckin · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Dear Slashdot editors,

    Please don't perpetuate the misconception that "alot" is an English word. It's TWO WORDS the first is "a" and the second is "lot".

    Thanks,
    Concerned Slashdot reader

    The last nine frontpage stories were posted by ScuttleMonkey. Someone on /. must have a job opening for him. Maybe * * Beatles-Beatles can hook him up. ;)

    Hate to be a pedant (well, actually I love it!) but I thought editors were suppose to fix stuff like this up...

    There is no word 'alot'. It is two very distinct words, an 'a' followed one space later by 'lot'. This mangling of English will be the death of me.
