Given the low penetration of IPv6 here, 10 years is not out of the question (I'd rate it better than 50/50).

There have been a couple of mergers over the years, but they've kept their identity within the bigger conglomerate. They can't merge much more, they're now owned by one of the larger ISPs.

Here, the situation is different. Few ISPs actually own access infrastructure, and with the new national network rolling out, pretty much all will be dependent on this network to reach their customers. This means that there's a lot of ISPs with reach, and who they will service comes down to marketing more than anything else (e.g. a local provider might not want to sell service to the other side of the country, even though it's physically possible).

I'm getting 5 years out of my routers at least, should be right, I think. And there's going to be open source alternative firmware that WILL support IPv4.
MvV>> So... with every change to my system I ask "will it still work MvV>> if I loose my public IPv4 address"?
TL> That sounds like a good question.
MvV> I should rephrase that. s/if/when/ Because seeing the signs on the MvV> wall, I expect it will be a matter of "when", not "if".
Still a good question. :) Not one I have to consider for quite a while, though I have proven that as long as I have access to a public IPv4 from _somewhere_, a tunnel will work, and I'm sure that will hold even if I have to run my own NAT on the far end of the VPN.
