You are correct, but this is the tip of the iceberg as other

This learning curve is not impossible, if the net admin really applies
his/her self to learning it.


I'd still say that for uptake across the board the mid/small business
(and even large business) isn't relevant. The numbers of these are so
small as to be insignificant to the problem.

Solving the problem for end-users seems like where ISP folk should
spend their time, and really it's in their best interest to do that so
they can keep expanding their customer base as ipv4 resources become
less available in their networks and globally.

How does IPv6 to end users make IPv4 unnecessary for growth, if
enterprises and content providers haven't deployed IPv6?
