ISP's are going to have to actually *lead* the transition to IPv6 both in terms of infrastructure and setting customer expectations.
and this means getting a good story in front of bean-counters about expending opex/capex to do this transition work. Today the simplest answer is: "if we expend Z dollars on new equipment, and A dollars on IT work we will be able to capture X number of users for Y new service" or some version of that story. Solving that has turned out to be difficult (as is shown by the global lack of meaningful deployment)
p.s. It's not the classic chicken/egg situation; it's much simpler: Look up and see the IPv4 Internet - that's the egg, it's first, and it's falling. We have to recognize that fact and gentle catch it, or there just won't be any chicken.
ok...
