That's the dumbest and sadly most oftenly heared sentence in this context. I had hoped that there were some IPv6 only/broken IPv4 services around today that would show people that's not the way to go, but I don't know any. Does anyone have a good example here? Even in the educational sector where I work, where we have enough[tm] money for hardware and tutorials there's no interest in a useful deployment. Activating v6 in the 5k+ users wifi is delayed (again) for next year, because it's neither important or urgent. That's the point where I gave up What I absolutely fail to grasp is why people don't want to deploy this v6 stuff while they have a chance to do it without user/customer/ peer pressure but want to wait until the pressure gets too high.
