I live in India and having 4 Mbps, which is a luxury. Not ready for IPv6. Situation is improving a lot recently though.

Probably you'll get IPv6 in India sooner than people in Europe.

I've read that the last mile in India is not yet liberalised and that's a huge growth factor in Internet usage.

Once this barrier falls, invesment in network equipment (IPv6-enabled) will follow.

Older, aka "mature" markets like Europe need some kind on incentive to switch to IPv6. Usually goverment subsidies...
