I think you missed the point. As of today, IPv6 is in the same situation
ISDN has always been:
I Still Don't Need.

ISDN which 10 years ago was supposed to be the digital miracle that
would save us from the analog crap and take over the world never took
off because the price was not worth the gain, the majority of phones and
dial-up still are analog and now ISDN costs _more_ than DSL or cable for
low-end data.
