That's kind of an arrogant attitude towards those that simply can't get a decent IPv4 address, rather than won't.  'cause that's the argument, right, that there are areas in Asia where IPv4 just isn't?

With regard to IPv4, we are quite privileged here in "the west".

They'll be just as happy with IPv6, so that's a rather nonsensical argument.
