I think you're missing the big picture here Mury.

Simply acquiring IPv6 space is not preventing its deployment.  There are 
many, many more issues out there surrounding its deployment.  We could pay 
backbones $10k each and give each of them a /33 of IPv6 address space and 
they still wouldn't deploy it.
