Why is it "bad planning"?  The only requirement for zones is that
there are some IPv4 servers for them and .biz meets that requirement.
Has there been one complaint that .biz names cannot be looked up?

All users can get IPv6.  There is *nothing* stopping anyone other
that their own willingness to set it up.  If you are using Vista
you are most probably using IPv6 without even knowing you are doing
so even your ISP only supplies you with IPv4.
