I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
The only thing stopping global IPv6 deployment is Netflix continuing to offer services over IPv4.
If Netflix dropped IPv4, you would see IPv6 available *everywhere* within a month.
As others have noted, and to paraphrase a long-ago quote from this mailing list, I'm sure all of Netflix's competitors hope Netflix does that. I remain hopeful that the climbing price of unique, available IPv4 addresses eventually forces migration to v6. From my armchair, only through economics will this situation will be resolved.
