You completely missed the point about "dual-stack being so much easier
to roll out and maintain".
If I can get away with providing only a single-stack IPv6 *network*,
with some added warts for a small (we're talking mobile networks here,
and only a few applications there insist on being IPv4-only) subset
that needs to do IPv4, this is a clear win.
And of course you need less IPv4 if most of your customer base is not
using IPv4.
Note that I didn't say I would do this in a "DSL style" mass market
deployment.

I wasn't bashing Americans in general here.
