Sad but true. 90% awareness is actually very encouraging, and I'm more concerned about providing the information about the tools that those folks need to move forward. There is a lot of relevant work in IETF, but may not be as widely recognized as it could be. Some small effort to organize and catalog that to remove some of the FUD wouldn't hurt. As to the last 10% a line I've used a couple places is " Nothing compels the elimination of IPv4; no protocol police will forbid its use in the foreseeable future. IPv4 may disappear due to irrelevance when IPv6 is so pervasive to make it redundant." Over time the cost, complexity and inconvenience of coexistence should shift from the burden being on the "early adopters" of IPv6 to the IPv4 dead-enders.

It's probably a non-zero percentage. Some may be perfectly happy to continue providing IPv4-only service on the cheap, into the foreseeable future, to subscribers with no plans to expand or to keep up with the rest of the world. It's going to be a niche. Not sure how big it will be. > >> And folks are still surprised to find out "no, we really mean it. No more big chunks of IPv4 available."
