Anybody has better projections? What's the plan?

My guess is that end user access will be more and more NAT444:ed (CGN)
while at the same time end users will get more and more IPv6 access (of
all types), and over a period of time more and more of the p2p traffic
(VoIP, file transfers etc) will move to IPv6 because it'll stop working
over IPv4. When enough users have IPv6 access the server-based content
will be made reachable over v6 as well.

The transition will take at least 5 years, I guess in 2015 we'll be
perhaps halfway there.

Just because the curve doesn't look steep enough now doesn't mean it won't in two years. Human behavior is hard to model and panic hasn't set in yet.

The nutjobs are for example not headed for the hills yet.
