I hope you're right. I really hope that there's this phenomenal transition in 2011 of content from 0.1% IPv6-accessible to 99% IPv6-accessible.

Forget content, they're just along for the ride. When most service providers have eye-wateringly shite CGNs acting as intermediaries between eyeballs and content, the content providers will be motivated to move to v6 even if only as a means of damage control.

And not even by node count, but by percentage of traffic. And pain is one way to get there. Every few months I think of the number of truck rolls we'll need to do to swap out DSL modems and SOHO routers with their IPv6 equivalents.

Ah, that's something we don't have.
