Taken from the german 'puter zine "c't" current edition 14:

There are not enough IPv4 adresses for Africa and Latin America already 
which is why they are assigning IPv6 only already. Now with the new east 
african internet cable this might lead to even more IPv6 users in 
potential OSM countries, but... all those IPv6 users cannot reach IPv4 
only servers.
