These reasons are well-known and two-fold:
1. It's an investment without any foreseeable ROI:
- Scarcity of IPv4 addresses? Not any time soon and certainly not soon
enough to justify any investment within the next n years.
- Ease of renumbering? A myth.
- Auto-configuration? Not fundamentally a breakthrough over DHCP.
In other words: what is IPv6 going to buy me or my business in the next
n years? Nothing I don't already have with IPv4; why should I invest in
it (especially given the tight finances these days) ?
2. It does not even provide what IPv4 does:
- No multihoming.
- No PA addresses.
- Ni private addresses.
