But there is not so much the RIPE NCC can do about it.

But if *you all* go out and call the sites that are important for your
customers and explain that they will have poor performance (read: CGNAT)
unless they enable IPv6, that will get things moving.

Stop complaining that IPv6 isn't deployed - work to *make it*.

(And this, gentlemen, is exactly why we're having this discussion - because
too many folks are just complaining that IPv4 is running out (surprise!),
that the IPv4 market is not fair (surprise!), but not spend that amount
to get IPv6 rolled out further)

BTW, nobody suggested doing "IPv6 only business" - do native IPv6 to your
customers, put IPv4 on your big NAT boxes, and this exactly why we reserve
a /22 IPv4 for people "late in the game": so your NAT boxes *can* reach 
those parts of the Internet that are stuck in the last century.
