Uh. I'd say "providing IP connectivity to end users, without having to go through a carrier-grade nat at their provider" seems to be compelling enough that quite a number of large-scale providers in europe have started to assign a /56 to all new customers... > With some majors like Google starting to adopt it, and with only a few > years left for a v4 aftermarket, carrier grade nat etc to have any effect, > and with newer generations of devices yet to ship with v6 only stacks but > that's a matter of time...

I rather suspect what i predict may well happen in > our lifetimes, or even in the couple of decades of years before I retire "True uptake and growth" will happen in terms of traffic ratio, actual usage ratio *inside* the IPv6 prefixes, but not so much in terms of "how many entities are all of a sudden becoming a RIR member to get IPv6 address space". There's currently about 10.000 RIPE members - which is well inside the bounds that can be served by RIPE's /12. Why should entities that are not RIPE members today become one, just because of IPv6 uptake? And, more interesting, why would the number go up by a factor of 50, to actually threaten to fill the /12?
