We know that IPv6 is coming for how long? 15years? 10year? 5years? Well if you only read the mainstream media youAnd at what point during that time did they have any vendor gear they could purchase that -would- support v6? At -best- during the last 5 years, but I'd put money on that even today they can't purchase gear with adequate v6 su pport.This is largely the result of the fact that they did not demand it from theirvendors during that time. OwenAbsolutely, just as the ISPs didn't see demand, and don't today, from their users and thus the circle of blame is complete :)
And some of their customers have been asking for IPv6 all along. I started asking my ISP at home in 2003. I suspect if all the ISPs here were honest they would say that they have had a trickle of IPv6 requests for the last 8 years.
