Migration to IPV6 Might Actually Happen

A recent announcement from CISCO about new features in their carrier grade router products which will support the transition from IPV4 to IPV6 may be the harbinger of IPV6 in earnest. It is estimated that there are only 700 days left to the allocation of the last IPV4 block. From that point only addresses that providers have in inventory will be available.

With these new products, the continued growth of mobile and sensor oriented products, the Internet community will likely be pushed to start the migration to IPV6 in earnest.
