Which has been unfortunately the case since we have started talking about IPv6 deployment.

My question to the list would be, what makes ISPs in other regions move to getting IPv6 deployed across their networks all over the world (including the last mile), 

while we still here are just happy by turning on v6 advertisements at the core (that is if we do that) and not even have plans to go to the end users, even in a few years like Carlos said before?

Do they not understand the importance, do not see the need to rush, I won't say do not have the funds because they do, are they still trying to find a ROI??
