Yes, that was also my reaction. Why one Internet? Because Internet means tying together multiple separate networks. Of course you can have the same addresses on the different networks. Nothing new there either. That's why we have NATs, NAPTs, and IPv6 NPTs.

No one is forcing an ISP or an enterprise network to use a combination of protocols. They can already opt to be IPv4 only, or IPv6 only, or dual stack, or eventually IPv7. Matter of fact, years ago, our enterprise had an assortment of different networks, tied together by Softswitch gateways. IPv4, SNA, DECnet.

Wasn't this what the Internet was supposed to be? I'm tempted to ask how old you are, but I don't want to be rude.

As the Monty Python would put it: 'You see, the key is in the name - Inter - net(work)'

:-)
