I was in an electronics store buying something and just for the heck of it walked over to the routers section and asked the sales guy whether any of the routers supported IPv6. As expected they guy was blissfully unaware of what IPv6 was and asked a colleague, who didn't know what it was either, but said would look into it - whether he does really doesn't bother me. The reason I gave for asking is because I "read about it online and indicated that maybe in a year or two it would be a requirement and I didn't want to have to buy a new router so soon after getting my current one". From that experience I wondered whether it would be worth just randomly walking into IT stores and asking this question, at least to get sales people wondering what this newfangled technology is all about, that they know nothing of. My intent was not too put them down, but to see how much awareness there is amongst sales people and whether there is potential to create a buzz. I think it would also be great to encourage companies that have routers that are "IPv6 ready" to market this clearly on the outside of the box, rather than hidden away in the manual.
