I built my net, allowed you to connect to it.You enjoyed it and asked for IPv6 
glue in root zone. I gave it to you. But you are not happy..........

Why are you like that :-)

Ok, I have an idea we could share:

One of our friends is proposing, that we allocate IPv6 per country. If this is 
accepted, it can help build national backbones. And as we(developing 
countries) will not have ressources and time to manage our allocated block, 
we could ask our former "colons " to manage them for us.We may then build 
some francoNET, CommNET...........
If It arrives to interconnect  all of them we could build a new "Internet" and 
create a new ressources coordination center and authority.

And so users  may have choices and a more acceptable "ICANN"....

what do you think ?
