2008 Could Be the Start of the IPv6 Migration Boom

With just four months to go before the deadline for that requires U.S.
Federal agencies' networks to be IPv6-capable, things should be getting
interesting. The prediction by Joe Oltsik of ZDNet News two months ago, in
"Get ready for a rocking '08 in networking tech", is worth reading
again:
We will see both push and pull in 2008. As of June 30, all
federal government agency backbones must be ready to transmit
both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. This in turn means that every
supplier to the government must also support IPv6. Vendors
will want to get a return on this R&D expense and will
therefore push IPv6 hard into the private sector. While this
will produce limited results, the IPv6 buzz will really heat
up toward the end of 2008 as mobile and "smart" device
penetration leads to a new panic about IP address shortages.
Look for widespread deployment at the twilight of the decade.
