Forget content, they're just along for the ride.

When most service providers have eye-wateringly shite CGNs acting
as intermediaries between eyeballs and content, the content providers
will be motivated to move to v6 even if only as a means of damage

Ah, that's something we don't have.  Our customers own their own 
(which has its own slew of problems:  I can't make them upgrade,
