Not sure how that is helpful as a response to someone suggesting going 
dual-stack, not IPv6 only - unless I've totally misread Michael's email.

If my home broadband ISP (okay, and my cheap CPE) supported IPv6, I'd be 
able to get to my own servers out there without using a tunnel. And 
Google. And Youtube. And Facebook. That's probably a majority of user's 
needs done = reduced CGNAT requirements.

I'm not pro IPv6 just for the hell of it, but there are some odd 
arguments for not providing it as a service now, or at least timetabling 
it more seriously.

Also, in $job-1 - I can't say that Australia as a whole is any worse or 
better than the rest of the world when it comes to IPv6. We had mixed 
experience getting IPv6 rolled out around our many POPs - I do recall 
that Equinix in Sydney didn't support IPv6 by the time we had expected 
it. But then, neither had our ISP in Copenhagen. Or India. Or Sao Paulo.
