Ok, I'll bite, as you seem to have a hangup about this.

This depends a lot on what the business is.

My employer is situated in one of the top 5 most expensive countries in the
world (Norway, you may have heard about it), so in order to be competitive,
we have to keep the gap between revenue and expenses minimal.

Any price increase from our partners/vendors affects that negatively, and
in some regards, 2015 started badly for us with a weakened currency towards
the Euro, USD, and most other currencies.

You probably think you know where this is leading, that I would post a
statement agreeing with you, that the answer to your question is a
resounding "no".

If so, you're wrong.

The answer is a very clear "yes".


Additionally, you have a hangup about "survival".

For most of us who are already doing business, I believe the problem is not
about SURVIVAL. If it is, there is something very wrong with your business
model.

The problem is about GROWTH potential, though, and that potential is best
with IPv6, not IPv4.

IPv4's growth potential is a dead end, and that's been well-known for
several years. Get over it.
