Being able to talk IPv6 is the real problem. There will be content providers out there who will have v6 only networks. Even if you use all ipv4 space you or your upstream will need to be able to talk v6 in the near future. V4 is not going away. A separate v6 network will be layered on top of and beside the current network. ISPs need to be able to talk to this network in one fashion or another.
At one point it will be hard to get v4 addresses. You will have to make deals with individuals, brokers, etc. to get v4 space. It will become a premium. All the while v6 addresses will be easy to get. Customer will be needing to get to v6 space whether they realize it or not. If your networks can't do native v6 *or* some sort of translation from 4 to 6 you will hear about it. You will have entire networks running v6 only with translation to v4. All of this will take time.
