and this means getting a good story in front of bean-counters about
expending opex/capex to do this transition work. Today the simplest answer
is: "if we expend Z dollars on new equipment, and A dollars on IT work we
will be able to capture X number of users for Y new service" or some
version of that story.
IPv6 should simply be a requirement of all new equipment purchases (in large ISP's this should have been the case for a while now). The bean counters don't see a cost for new equipmnent just to run IPv6- they see the normal costs to upgrade older equipment. At least that's the way I'm doing my upgrades.
