I know that lack of addresses is a real problem in China, because they were given little ipv4 space.
But I'm in Spain, and I have not heard of any provider here offering ipv6 for home or small businesses. The battle here is pricing and broadband. Or cable versus ADSL.
It seems much the same here in Canada, if you add in wifi bandwidth. The cable providers and the DSL providers have been hit with lawsuits that have forced them to open up to allow other ISPs to use their facilities, rather like what we had with the phone companies back in the 80s and 90s. Since those same telcos run (almost) all the cell phone space they are fighting back with with internet-over-3G and internet-over-AWS. My cell phone is only capable of IPv4 addresses :-( -- Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
