[ipv6-wg] IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Now Underway!

Marc,

the IPv6 connectivity itself is not a problem now. There is even free
IPv6 transit proposals.

The biggest hurdle is the lack of IPv6 resources. I think moving to IPv6
fails if on IPv4 exhaustion date less than 50% of web resources will not
support IPv6. There is a good connectivity, but users really don't need
it as they can't use IPv6 for web surfing, mail, etc - their regular
Internet activity.
