(Apologies for redistribution, but need to insure that this is seen by all in the region.)
The IPv4 free pool for the ARIN region is now depleted; ISPs are encouraged to utilize
IPv6 for additional customer growth and the IPv4 transfer market for their IPv4 interim
needs.
Thanks!

Hooray!
Come on in, the IPv6 water is fine
http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/
Over 20% of Google view are on IPv6
https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
And, IPv6 is 10-15% faster

The issue now is convincing clients that they need it. The other issue is many software vendors still don't support it.

Actually, the issue now is convincing certain big providers to actually make IPv6 service available to their customers in data centres and the like across their *whole* networks rather than giving people the "there's no demand so we can't justify the cost" run around. (I'm looking at you AS701.)
For that matter, it would also help if certain large end user providers would make IPv6 available rather than giving a standard "we have no information at this time" type response. (I'm looking at you, Shaw.)
Not even the Iraqi Minister of Information could have said that last part
with a straight face.
Open a ticket with your NOC or the customer support people if they can’t reach sites like http://adsb.nether.net/
Use tools like Jason’s test-ipv6.com site.
IPv6 traffic roughly doubled in my view of the internet in the past ~2 weeks as the 9.0 GM image hit and the public release of 9.0 came out.

Hi,
IPv6 traffic roughly doubled in my view of the internet in the past ~2 weeks as the 9.0 GM image hit and the public release of 9.0 came out.
0.001% of traffic to 0.002% 
joking aside as I'm a big IPv6 champion.... IPv6 is picking up a lot recently....and whilst
the bahviour change of IOS9 has helped...clients themselves dont change the networks they are using -
the networks themselves need to support this protocol, route it etc as we all know...so, if nothing
else, IOS9 has revealed more that many parts of the internet are IPv6 enabled and ready to be used.

Let's say it's less than 1Tbit but based on the growth curve in recent weeks I'm not sure it will stay there.

And this may trigger a refresh on routers, as people old or refurbed equipment find they need to change. The whole reason for the inertia against going to IPv6 is "it ain't broke, so I not gonna 'fix' it."
Now it's broke.
Let's just hope carriers don't try to fix IPv4 instead of going to IPv6. I'd like my children to grow up in a worlds without cgnat.
T-Mobile implemented 464XLAT successfully, but I have no idea how long they
will still depend on IPv4 because of that setup.
Remember, the Internet being fully migrated to IPv6 is just 5 yrs away just
like fusion power plants is 20 yrs away (although I think now they are
saying 50 yrs away which would make IPv6 12.5 yrs away). (=
They're already trying - RFC 6598. On the flip side, I'm using subnets from
that range for my home network instead of RFC 1918 space right now.
Shouldn't 23.128.0.0/10 be put back into the pool? Ripe finished their
test and this was a loaned block. Also with 16 million addresses in
their reserved pool, did they really need to borrow this in the first
place??

IPv4's works better today than ever before. IP space in North America has
now officially turned into a revenue source for networks. Most private
enterprise customers understand costs and profits. Business does not
understand free stuff in a free market. Hence, IPv4 is no longer free in a
block range perspective.
To any business with rising employee medical insurance, electricity and
office rent rates, an IP address cost is just not on the radar. Just not a
large enough cost to make IPv6 look financially attractive. Only when IPv4
address costs begin to exceed that of the hardware and labor conversion
costs, will IPv6 gain traction in North America.
So for the most part your teenage kids will grow up in an IPv4 world until
they are probably 30,something. But, your grand kids will see IPv4 as
soooo old. That's all contingent upon all the networks we work on start
charging $10 or more per IP address per month.

Bryan -
23.128.0.0/10 isn’t on loan to RIPE; it is the permanently reserved block for IPv6
transition (see ARIN NRPM 4.10 "Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6 Deployment”),
of which RIPE is doing testing with 4 /24’s (and has asked to continue the testing
of those blocks, so long as we don’t need them back sooner.)
Thanks,

According to http://business.comcast.com/internet/business-internet/static-ip
Comcast charges $19.95 per month for one static IPv4 address.

I read an article from National Geographic from the early 90s about the conversion for CFCs to HCFC and I think IPv4 will transition similarly. I wish I could find the article on line, but I can't find it at all. It basically credited the speed of the transition (it was faster than most thought) due to CFC scarcity imposed by legislation.
CFC used in A/C were known to be terrible for the environment for a number of years, but consumers didn't really demand HCFC equipment and you could always buy CFCs cheaply to repair your appliances. Once it was mandated that HCFCs could only be used on anything new and CFCs could not be produced at the same level, a market was created for reclaiming CFCs from old equipment. The price of CFCs went up for a number of years due to decline supply until there was enough of a uptick in HCFC equipment that eventually the price of CFCs tanked due to low demand. The limited CFC market helped pushed people in adopting HCFCs since the cost of repairing your old CFC A/C unit was very high for a number of years. By the time prices went down no one really cared that much for CFCs anyways.
Since we now have a market controlling the allocation of IPv4 addresses we will probably see the fastest uptick in IPv6 adoption yet. The price will go up until it is more reasonable to just go to IPv6 for everything than to figure out how to keep getting blood from the IPv4 stone. There is an upper limit to how much we can all pay for an IP address. Now would be a good time to invest in IPv4 addresses to sell at the high end of the market
(Hope I did a decent job explaining, trying to remember the article from a few years ago is hard.)
The issue now is convincing clients that they need it. The other
issue is many software vendors still don't support it.And this may trigger a refresh on routers, as people old or refurbed

Yea, well, it would be nice if upgrading existing home routers
remained legal, so we could, indeed add ipv6 capability and more.
