Does it take most network operators more than 1000 days to make an IPv6 
plan and start implementing it?

I suppose there is always some network running obsolete gear out 
somewhere, but their upstream guy may provide them something to avoid 
the pain (like reclaimed v4 space) or a gateway or other service.

I guess another way to say it is... if you can afford for the planning 
and implementation to have so many layers of sign-off and buy-in it 
takes years, you can afford the costs, in everything else, to implement it.

Not to mention, piggyback off of all the published BCPs, improved tools 
and software, and other things that 2 more years will provide.
