So far from my experience in ipv6 deployments, the smaller the company 
the easier and cheaper it is.  Smaller companies are more likely to have 
gear that relies on software forwarding so ipv6 upgrades are simply an 
firmware upgrade away or if they do need to replace gear a bit of 
searching on ebay can scrounge up something to take care of the ipv6 
side of things. Where as larger companies are more likely to have to buy 
new and have specialized kit that doesn't speak ipv6 well (big arse 
firewalls/load balancers/WAFs etc).
