Not external *IPv4* addresses, they won't - which is what kind of addresses
they need to communicate with other IPv4 sites.

IPv4 vs. IPv6 isn't an either/or - it's quite reasonable for a site
to run IPv4 (with NAT if necessary) alongside IPv6.  I expect that
most sites already on the net will do exactly this - use IPv4 with 
NAT for traditional applications that NAT supports and use IPv6 for 
the other ones.
