The chances of this actually occurring in our lifetime are so small as to be 
meaningless.  There are (according to published reports) between 1 and 2 
billion people reachable on IPv4.  No rational commercial Internet organization 
is going to block themselves off from that customer base.  Folks like Comcast 
will probably add IPv6 support _in addition to_ IPv4.  Eventually, they may 
even add a surcharge to encourage people to migrate off IPv4, but I'd imagine 
that's way down the line.  By way of analogy, how long did pulse dialing 
continue to be supported in the phone system after DTMF was introduced?
