Hi,
IPv4 address exhaustion is big problem because IP address are running out and networks aren't ready to switch.

Here is a nice countdown I found

It means all the networking equipment inuse for Today, might need to be replaced if that does not support IPv6. Plus, there is lack of training for IPv6 configuration.

All ISP,Govts & Corporations would be forced to use IPv6 as free IP address would reduce and getting a new IP would be difficult.As Arstechnica puts it this switch to IPv6 is gonna be messy, its too late for smooth transition.

In India, I only know about Sify which has a IPv6 enabled.
