Or me :)

I was consulting on a project and we had written into an RFI questions 
about IPv6 support and roadmap for a land mobile radio system that used 
a data network to back haul traffic between base stations.

During a presentation, an integrator explained why we need IPv6- because 
IPv6 is in hex and we're running out of MAC addresses.

Please don't ask me which vendor the customer ultimately picked.....
