Local, as in how the car drives. Not as the packets fly.

We've had a conference in OpenQwaq (server in the US)
recently with users in Europe, US, New Zealand, and despite
realtime requirements (audio and video) it worked
surprisingly well.

There might be cases, where you only serve local
users, but that's quite pathological. 

But even assuming if:

http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption

Germany: IPv6 adoption 0.51%

In anotyher 10 years you might have a case.

None of my own data points confirm it. People will only react when
there's a reachability problem. Or, when a developer saw a funny
address in the logs she was unfamiliar with. "IPv6? What's that?"
Don't me started with a particular application, which has no
clue about CIDR.

http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption

says 0.27% for Australia.
