I sympathize on the financial points. Right now the only benefit is if
you /didn't /have to spend extra money to buy IPv4 space. If you've got
the IPv4 space you need, then there's literally no money in IPv6. I
first got involved in IPv6 for a new venture. They couldn't get IPv4
space at all, but they could get IPv6 + transition pool addresses. So
it was either dual stack or spend 5 figures on IP addresses.
I only disagree with the statement that you won't deploy until you can
run only one stack. Did you keep faxing until everybody else had email?

We have an IPv6 deployment plan, but there is minimal benefit in dual
stacking and no financial gain until we need to.
Right now there is a negative benefit for deploying IPv6 (overhead,
management, no ROI, can't bill customers for static IPs).
We have a plan, but until it's needed we don't plan to roll it out.
IPv4 will be here for many years to come.
