I think this is more "feasible" if Netflix offered a dedicated, 24/7/365
pr0n channel that only streamed on IPv6.
If an IPv4-only Netflix subscriber tried to tune to that, they'd get a
big fat "IPv6 required to view this FREE content. Please contact your
service provider blah blah blah" on their TV screen.
That could facilitate a "bottom-up" push; perhaps the only time we'll
ever hear customers requesting for IPv6.
Leave all the regular programming on IPv4 - we all know what drives
Internet traffic anyway :-).
