I think more focus needs to be for carriers to deliver dual stack to their =
customers door step, whether they demand/use it or not. Small ISPs are prob=
ably in the best position to do this and will help push the big boys along =
with time. If we follow the network effect (reason why IPv4 lives and IPv6 =
is slowly growing), IPv6 needs more nodes, all other efforts are meaningles=
s if they do not result in more users having IPv6 delivered to their door.=

I think people get too lost in the weeds when they start focusing on device=
support, home router support, user knowledge, etc. Just get it working to =
the people and we can figure out the rest later.
