I'd not assume that IPv6 is not getting deployed (only) because it's hard or because of the technical difficulties. Maybe you are more lucky but I personally have a lot of things on my 'would be nice to get done' list - and none of them are hard to do. It's just they keep getting postponed because if other things which are either more urgent or more important. I'd not be surprised if IPv6 deployments suffer from the same issue quite often.
I think this is spot on; IPv6 never makes it to the top of the list for most organisations.
From my previous life, almost 6/7years ago the decision to either go with IPv6 (network was ready and we did the POC as well) or buy more IPv4 blocks was made on the basis of a 2/3sec pause from the engineering head in response to a BU head questioning "are you confident that IPv6 is not going to create any problems?" 2 days later I was talking to brokers. Fast forward, I would be interested if someone who can do myth busting for c-suite would be great. A Panel may be?
