How are they going to completely migrate to v6 while
there is a demand for v4 space (specifically, THEIR v4 space.)?
As long as the beast is getting fed, there will be customers
without v6, and they're not going to isolate themselves for the
commercial benefit of an unrelated third party.
And even if they did, it's only going to buy you a few months.
