The incumbents in North America still have a relatively large buffer of IPv4.
For historic reasons. In Europe and Asia it is different. Newcomers are at a
disadvantage as they have to buy IPv4 at the market. Some choose to stop
offering public IPv4 adresses to thei customets. Like that fibre company that
Gerrit mentioned.
Yes, we will see more of that in the future.
The ironie is that it is mostly an issue for those that do not have IPv6 yet.
Those that already have it there is less of a problem.

The US is #9 on the list with 53% IPv6 adoption. Canada #25 with 37%.

That could not be if there was not a substantial IPv6 adoption by ISPs.

That may be a factor. However.. average life time for a router is in the order
of five years. Routers younger than five years should all have IPv6 by now...
