They would be out of business the day they turn IPv4 off. So it will not happen. IMO, this will not be a decision made by ICANN or a network provider. This will be made by a platform/OS company. Basically, once IPv6 is presumed ubiquitous (it doesn't have to be actually ubiquitous) -- just

This doesn't mean IPv4 will disappear. Just like the 20+ year old machines that are still on the net via IPv4 - legacy protocol gateways, pockets of IPv4 may exist for decades via similar devices -- but at that point, we just dismiss those guys as crackpots. Maybe not quite crackpots, but
