and this means getting a good story in front of bean-counters about expending opex/capex to do this transition work. Today the simplest answer is: "if we expend Z dollars on new equipment, and A dollars on IT work we will be able to capture X number of users for Y new service" or some version of that story.IPv6 should simply be a requirement of all new equipment purchases (in large ISP's this should have been the case for a while now). The bean counters don't see a cost for new equipmnent just to run IPv6- they see the normal costs to upgrade older equipment. At least that's the way I'm doing my upgrades.
grr, it ain't just buying new equipment, it's IT work, its certification of code/features/bugs, interoperatability. Provisioning, planning, configmanagement.... training... All of these things require opex/capex spend. You could buy a 'router' that did ipv6 10 years ago, that doesn't mean that anyone planned on ever deploying it.
