web's running out of addresses?

All the major ISPs in Canada are set up with the equipment to handle IPv6, and do use it. Companies like Bombardier (my old company) use IPv6 internally across all their locations around the world.

Yeah, Cerf has been pushing for the leap to IPv6 for a while.

I think the real trick is how do you convert the millions of internet clients out there that are in the hands of non-techies. I'm sure some clever person can figure out a way to push out an MSI package or similar, but you only get one shot at getting it right.

Botch it and they cant get back online for a second try, and call centers are going to have a very bad day.
