There may be tweeks that could help it along. One would be regulation in some manner, eg it becomes part of the regulations a biz may be subject to, or a requirement if they receive government funding (such as the various broadband vouchers), or equipment import regulations (CEv6) They could be low intrusion ways to ensure it's possible to transition sooner. The sooner you do them the less stuff is added to the legacy pile preventing it ever being considered. We'd be pretty much there if this had been in place for ipv6 day as a huge amount of consumer kit has been replaced since then. FTTC launched 25 January 2010 IPv6 day 8 June 2011 If you want it any sooner you have to pay (the analogue tv switchover wasn't cheap but was helped by everyone wanting flat TVs, find something to trojan it) So to answer original question - set up a process that will result in a date you can announce. brandon
