Sad part is most technical implementations are still crippled.  Cisco has put on events at the past several yearly "ipv6 congress" events, and every year they still general client usage to be problematic in a "pure" ipv6 environment.  I think last year was apple ios not supporting dhcpv6 various other nuances to the default configurations that were needed to work around client issues year after year.

Carrier technologies like mpls are still somewhat contingent on ipv4 even, everything else is mostly work-in-progress.  Carrier-grade NAT solutions are expensive and/or still fluid in terms of spec, so most enterprises, especially around the US are like "we'll get to it when we have to", and that means at the cost of buying v4 addresses to *not* change.  Ask a developer how to provide ipv6 services, and I bet they'll look at you funny too as most haven't even gotten v4 yet.

All it's doing is creating a new ecosystem of supply and demand.  Good thing companies like godaddy have been hoarding them for years, waiting for the gold rush to begin (like, now).
