You seem to be forgetting that there is much territory even in the great
United States that has no IPv6 native routing (right where I am sitting for
example).  

This is not a matter of choice, it is simply not available.  You can spout
all you want about threatening providers with economic sanctions if they do
not provide IPv6, but so long as they know that nobody in the area provides
it then unless you are willing to close the doors on your business to spite
them they can safely disregard your threats.
