It is up to the network equipment manufacturers and associated infrastructure companies to manage the switch to IPv6. Not too much my end-user company can do, is there, if IPv6 based network equipment isn't out there.

Then it has to be publicised, so that network users know it is there.

Then the ISPs need to support. My company and I personally use RoadRunner (only broadband option in this area), and I have absolutely NO idea if they support IPv6.

But naturally, the entities that should be handling the switch to IPv6 won't do anything (costs too much), until there IS a catastrophy.

Oh, well, what is an end-user to do?

And don't bother to tell me to whine to RoadRunner. They'll just laugh, knowing I don't have an alternative.
That is probably because we been around this bend roughly ten years ago.

You know that whole world is coming to an end thing that was all the rage back then.

Crying wolf only gets you so far before it comes back to bite you.
Really ? 

Weren't we meant to have run on of IP v4 addresses a couple of years back ??

I have been in IT for ten years now & even back then its was "upgrade to IPv6 now, we run out in x years time..."
