I disagree - it can be more opex if you want to run both together, but 
less so if you choose one; largely IPv6, but also largely IPv4 if you 
don't intend to be in the game for the rest of your life.

My point was that there might not obviously be a linear relationship 
between less CG-NAT and more native IPv6, that makes a material 
difference to the CFO's Excel spreadsheet, off the bat.
