This is my point… That is why I think an announcement of “On X date,
we will begin charging extra for IPv4 services and define Internet Access
to be IPv6” by a couple of the larger eyeball ISPs would light a pretty
big fire under those laggards.

Think about it… Amazon doesn’t want to lose access to Comcast, T-Mobile,
Verizon Wireless, and/or AT&T eyeballs any more than those ISPs want
to deal with the call center consequences if they turn off IPv4 before those
content providers are ready.

By all means, let's just escalate the peering wars between eyeball
networks and content providers.  That will solve all our problems.
