Actually it's very simple. Any Internet access without IPv6 isn't a full Internet access anymore. The local telecommunications regulation should enforce that an Internet access has to support IPv4 and IPv6. Any ISP not providing IPv6 or demanding some extra fee for that should be ashamed. They all had more than sufficient time to enable IPv6 in their networks. Now, that ARIN only got a few IPv4 /24s left, there's no excuse to postpone IPv6 any longer. Name and shame those morons! Explain to people that they need IPv6 and demand it from your telcos!
