IPv6 should simply be a requirement of all new equipment purchases (in 
large ISP's this should have been the case for a while now). The bean 
counters don't see a cost for new equipmnent just to run IPv6- they see 
the normal costs to upgrade older equipment. At least that's the way I'm 
doing my upgrades.
