I don't know about that.=20
Even though the carriers (USA) I've talked to are having trouble =
presenting native IPv6 to me in the next few quarters, they have no =
problem pitching professional services to help me with the =
implementation. Several of my hardware vendors have too. Don't be =
surprised at all to see this presented to senior management as a new =
revenue stream. "Helping the inept prepare for tomorrow".=20

Don't forget there is no commission for the salesperson to enable IPv6 =
for you, so definitively they are not interested and you asking them to =
deal with the issue, will just lower their pay at the end of the month =
because they could not use this valuable time to find customers with =
commissions...
