The problem is that until IPv6 has critical mass it is much better to be on

If there are any grad students reading the list take a look at the game
theory literature and apply it to the transition. Assume that it's a
rat-choice world and that each actor follows their best interest.
An actor can be in one of several states:
Unconnected
IPv4 connected with own address
IPv4-NAT connected with NAT address
IPv4/IPv6 connected Dual stack
IPv4-NAT/IPv6 connected Dual stack
IPv6 connected
Unfortunately most of the rats cannot choose certain states, so the game
is fundamentally flawed. The ISPs are keeping the cheese to themselves.
Squeak.
