Well, no, because my point was that whilst these 'big wins' are going on
and look great on the APNIC stats, there are still many, many websites
hosted on plenty of networks that aren't Youtube/Netflix, a CDN, or
Cloudflare.

Think Rackspace, OVH, Leaseweb, Savvis, and smaller companies; if they
don't manage the site content, nor the DNS records, then you'll probably
find that those customers don't have public-facing AAAA records (if any
at all) - and thus the proportion of IPv6 will be lessened.

The people that need to care about IPv6 now, aren't Network Engineers,
and they probably don't work for huge internationals either. They
probably don't have any websites big enough for CDNs. We're missing an
incentive for these website operators to enable AAAA records.

In terms of UKNOF attendee stats, I'm expecting more of a lop-sided
IPv6:IPv4 ratio than otherwise might be expected, because - amongst
other things - most people won't (shouldn't) be on Netflix or Youtube
whilst in the meeting hall. :)
