But none of them are operating pure IPv6-only networks that provide 
their customers with a "complete Internet experience", as that is 
currently (and may forever be) impossible. They're operating dual-stack, 
and for every new dual-stack customer you sign up, you've got to get 
some IPv4 from somewhere. Even if that means multiple layers of NAT or 
other address-sharing technology. And even with all that, you'll still 
need to find more IPv4 somewhere if you grow enough... that's why 
transfer will happen. Folks who don't need nearly as many unique 
addresses as they have will be who growing dual-stack providers get them 
from.
