Hi.

I strongly disagree with this view that regular Internet end-users need to 
ask their ISPs for IPv6 as a "feature". The lack of address space is an 
ISP issue, or at a broader scope a network admin issue.
A company with +-100 people, and several branch offices usually has 
someone to take care of the network, or at least take care of its 
computer infrastructure. That person should, YES, make some pressure to 
get IPv6 addressing from its ISP, but the regular Joe, at home, simply 
doesn't have that kind of ability to drive any ISP into deploying IPv6.

Best Regards,
