REALLY??? I mean REALLY? people that operate networks haven't haven't had beaten into their heads: 1) cgn is expensive 2) there is no more ipv4 (not large amounts for large deployments of new thingies) 3) there really isn't much else except the internet for global networking and reachabilty 4) ipv6 'works' on almost all gear you'd deploy in your network and content side folks haven't had beaten into their heads: 1) ipv6 is where the network is going, do it now so you aren't caught with your pants (proverbial!) down 2) more and more customers are going to have ipv6 and not NAT'd ipv4... you can better target, better identify and better service v6 vs v4 users. 3) adding ipv6 transport really SHOULD be as simple as adding a AAAA I figure at this point, in 2016, the reasons aren't "marketing" but either: a) turning the ship is hard (vz's continual lack of v6 on wireline services...) b) can't spend the opex/capex while keeping the current ship afloat c) meh I can't see that 'marketing' is really going to matter...

Maybe we should let people believe that IPv6 is faster than IPv4 even if objectively that isn’t true. Perhaps that will help speed along the adoption process.
do we REALLY think it's still just /marketing problem/ that keeps v6 deployment on the slow-boat?
