IPv4 PI space is seriously non-scalable, and you can't simply duplicate it in IPv6.
Why not? IPv6 has bigger addresses, that's the whole point of it.
The other popular reason for getting PI space is to make it easier to renumber if you change ISPs
I think you mean "unnecessary" not "easier".
The big problem with renumbering for me is the idiots with their idiot firewalls,
I've got over 1000 customers and about half of them have stupid security consultants that got 'em to install brain dead firewalls that need updating if I change my servers address.
It costs a couple of orders of magnitude more to upgrade a system as large as the US cellular system than it does to upgrade Japan (a system about the size of California).
What are you comparing here? Your subject is "user base", so if you're comparing (potential) users then the difference between the US (pop (July 2007 est) 301,139,947) and Japan (pop (2007 est) 127,433,494) is a factor of 2.3, not 100. Or if your talking about area then the difference between the US (9,161,923 km^2) and Japan (377,835 km^2) is a factor of 24, one order of magnitude, not two.
Can I buy a Japanese phone from my country? Unlike GSM phones, Japanese phones are tightly bundled with subscription and usually not sold alone. The only way is to buy a secondhand ("white ROM") phone.
Can I buy a Japanese phone when I visit Japan? Japanese phones are not sold alone. Buying a phone means making a postpaid monthly contract (except prepaid phones).
I believe you mean "expandable storage". The miniSD slot is exactly what the Casio has, and is exactly what the market is rejecting! You technophile may appreciate the ability to swap 2GB SD cards, but to your average user it's a single 2GB expansion. (They're not going to spend $$$ getting multiple SD cards, assuming they spend the money to get the first one.) Which means that the 4-8 GB hard drive options are much more appealing.
So get an 8Gb miniSD. Or wait a while and get a 16Gb one.
WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - Attacks in Iraq last month reached their highest daily average since May 2003, showing a surge in violence as President George W. Bush completed a buildup of U.S. troops, Pentagon statistics show.
...
The June numbers showed 5,335 attacks against coalition troops, Iraqi security forces, civilians and infrastructure.
...
Attacks on Iraqi security forces fell to 889 in June from 987 in May, while attacks on coalition forces rose about 7 percent to 3,671 from 3,423.
So, 5,335 attacks 3,671 (69%) against coalition forces 889 (17%) against Iraqi security forces which leaves 775 (15%) against civilians and infrastructure
So whatever "middle-eastern muslim infighting" is going on is not the whole story.
Instead of asking why his African ancestors apparently can't grow crops and raise food animals like everybody else on the planet has managed to do for the past 50,000 fucking years.
I imagine in the coming decades, young people will be shocked that we used to be stuck getting our cell phone from the cell phone company, and didnt just buy the one we want at Wal Mart of Best Buy and get service from the company we chose...
Young people? I'm 48 years old and I'm still in shock about the way the US replaced the USSR as the horrible anti-free-market economy.
I still can't get my head around the idea that French telephone regulators are doing a better job than the FCC. What the fuck is going on? Has the universe been replaced by a poor parody of itself?

This is nuts. IPV4 PI's exist, and are used. If they are not available for IPV4 under the same terms then IPV6 will not fly.
What's your problem with global routing entries?

Japan doesn't use GSM.

Covering Japan (area 374,744 sq km) would probably cost about as much as Florida (170,304 sq km).
Why?

My god, now you're blaming the "left" for Gonzales, are there no depths to which you will not sink.
Yes, but not as round as VW's.

My old phone (nokia 9300) has 1GB, my new one (nokia E90) will have (initially) 4GB.
