Consider the areas of Internet growth that Hinton suggests motivate the need for IPng. If so, then try to think of other possible growth areas not mentioned. If not, then argue why a particular area might not grow as expected. Most answers centered around the areas of nomadic personal devices, networked entertainment, and appliance devices on the Internet. Many were skeptical about the growth of the number of such devices, at least in the 10 year time frame.
Networked entertainment is likely to grow fast, including on-line gaming.
Some were skeptical that appliance devices would really need IPng, and were more likely to include simpler protocols designed specifically for home intranets. Many were skeptical that nomadic devices would be a huge growth area in the near future. One person saw the nomadic devices and network entertainment competing with each other. Some suggested that things like cars would have their own internal networks to make installing, testing, and replacing components easier. Another student indicated that it had been tried once already by a car company and failed.
