My guess is that mass adoption of IPv6 will accelerate to Critical Mass (TM)
when a rather large media and/or service provider moves to IPv6 and leaves
IPv4 behind.

Microsoft Windows was catapulted into TCP/IP after being one of the latter
stalwarts tring something else. With the advent of TCP/IP on Winders, the
commercialisation of the 'Net took off. Perhaps a coincidence.

If Microsoft adopted IPv6 as an experiment, then a beta, then a duplicate
service alongside IPv4 and finally as solely IPv6, you can bet the rest of
world would follow.

Someone will have to make the first move. Perhaps a fridge manufacturer ;)
