And will for the foreseable future. I am not one of your customers, but I like your realistic views. I vote with my 
wallet and buy my transit from the ISP who understands my needs.

Won't change any time soon. For the vast majority of business eyballs and entreprises, IPv6 is not even on the agenda.

None of my customers has IPv6. None of my suppliers has IPv6. Nobody wants The business / enterprise ecosystem is and 
will remain of a size large enough to keep the IPv4 services for the foreseeable future.
Facebook going IPv6-only ? that would be a blessing. That is not what we pay employees to do at the office.

As Sabri would have said, why should I look like an idiot and go to the board and the investors for money to invest in 
something that has zero ROI ?
I was on the 6bone. I heard the IPv6 FUD for 20 years.
