Not likely. Greater adoption of IPv6 generally comes down to only one thing: replacing physical equipment. The only thing likely to force that is greater demand from consumer applications, which has not yet occurred.
It is just a matter of getting an inet6 prefix from your RIR/LIR, and configuring it in your network. IPv6 is not hard nor is it difficult to implement, and its nitty gritty details are actually far more logically sound then IPv4. (ARP is a major paint point for instance in large networks, so is IP broadcast traffic).
Most large WAN networks have a core which is either label switched (MPLS) and this doesn't care about anything in regards to the protocol which it is transporting, or is doing dual stack already.
My house is IPv6 first only because my ISP mandates such.
Which is easier said than done. Since my ISP won't provide me with IPv6, requesting a block from my RIR is my only option.
However, I don't meet the requirements[0] for getting a block directly from an RIR (in my case, ARIN).
In fact, unless you have a fairly large internet-facing presence, RIR's won't even give you the time of day:
Have an IPv4 assignment from ARIN or one of its
predecessors
Intend to immediately be IPv6 multi-homed
Have 13 end sites (offices, data centers, etc.)
within one year
Use 2,000 IPv6 addresses within one year
Use 200 /64 subnets within one year
Edit: Note that the requirements listed above are for end users not service providers.
you can get provider independant IP space from a LIR.
>you can get provider independant IP space from a LIR.
My understanding was that it was primarily ISPs that filled the role of LIRs. Is that incorrect?
If so, how can I find an LIR in my area?
Edit: I should have added that I've looked around, but AFAICT, the only "provider independent" group handing out IP addresses in my area is ARIN. I may be missing something obvious, but I don't think my google-fu is so bad that I can't find it, if it does indeed exist.
I wasn't blaming anyone. If that's the impression I gave, then I communicated poorly.
Just expressing my frustration WRT the inability to get an IPv6 block for myself.
It shouldn't be this hard.
