in my oppinion your thinking the wrong way .. ipv6 is not a feature to sell.. its a change which have to be done and now the client standing in front of the router in interdiscount guess he will buy ? the box with the new internet sticker or the one wich doesnt have it ? He is not able to read and understand a feature list on every box to choose the right one. he have to see .. ready or not. He decide for the wrong solution he have to buy new hardware again.
One day i hope not so far, the enduser have to pay an additional fee to getting IPV4 on his connection. But first all have to be ready to maybe getting that happen.
