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

same diff, if its in DE then it would be local, I mean FFS, I have a box in London and it has 6ms pings to Frankfurt, I cant even equal that from my city, Brisbane, to say Sydney, the best there is 9-11ms, that's 995 km's away.<BR>

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.

I also have a box in L.A. it purports to be a national U.S. host service, however we do not have access to IPv6.<BR>

There might be cases, where you only serve local
users, but that's quite pathological.
But even assuming if:

Germany: IPv6 adoption 0.51%
In anotyher 10 years you might have a case.

bullshit, I'd say before two years, if they are out of IPv4's<BR>

None of my own data points confirm it. People will only react when
there's a reachability problem.

I certainly hope you dont take googles word as gospel, it might be a "very rough" guide though.<BR>

says 0.27% for Australia.

I'd say that's an over estimation, but yeah, in AU, a service provider can get no more than a /22 for past year, and that's it, not multiple /22's, so basically for hosting services, if they didn't get in early and stockpile, you're fine for shared hosting, you can stuff thousands of hosts on one IP, but pretty much forget SSL customers, and as for end user SP's, well, yeah, forget it, only the big players have stockpiles of IPv4 for DSL/Cable/3G users, if someone wanted to start up a new ISP here, it is hopeless now, unless you want to NAT all your customers <IMG SRC="cid:1353843896.23595.10.camel@tardis" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"> which might be acceptable for 3G, but not for "always on" DSL etc...<BR>
