It does not work because there is no killer app, and no money to make it
work. Especially in the US, the common thinking is "why bother with
IPv6?" It does not bring money, and does not solve much of the v4
issues.

Your $10 Billion donation to build it is appreciated.

It has always been, IMHO.

And we *will* need these experiments.

How do you expect IPv6 to be stable without a multihoming solution? A
significant part of the crap we see in the routing table is the direct
consequence of the lack of a multihoming solution.

It all comes down to money. No operator is going to build an IPv6
infrastructure without knowing the outcome of the multihoming solution,
as they don't want to do the job twice, especially when there is no
money to pay for it.
