?! Early adopters are usually the ones who end up in difficulty. Those who learn by someone else mistakes and do their own R&D usually are better positioned to not be cut by the bleeding edge when they do decide to adopt. The adoption of a technology is more usually defined by commercial and other benefits rather than the technical merits of a particular technology. In a time where cash is short, corporate priorities are more likely to be on minimising costs by downsizing staff etc, rather than the funding the adoption new technologies with no immediately apparent cash-flow benefits. Which is probably short sighted at best, but most most public companies are there to make cash for their shareholders who are tending to be less tame about board level decisions in recent times. I would expect tools (and standards) to manage IPv6 external connectivity to be developed rather than wholesale infrastructure changes to be implemented; as the former could be relatively cheap to adopt, and the second significantly expensive.
Some will find out the hard way, when
they can no longer offer service to new customers.
