the cost of switching to IPv6?

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

I know TCP/IP but I'm not an expert on this issue, so I want to ask
about the following scenario:

According to an article in The Register
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/30/ipv4_depletion/), ARIN (the
group that gives IP's) will make life a bit harder when companies
would ask for additional IP's.

So, I was wondering: I'm almost sure that by now, most of the big
ISP's here in Israel have some IPV6 infrastructure and some IP's, but
what would it take to migrate clients to IPV6? here are more specific
questions:

1. Can a translation from V4 to V6 can occur at the ISP level,
removing the need to replace home routers/modems?
2. If not, what would be required to be done by the end user/home user
if his ISP will switch to V6?
3. If someone has a server at a hosting company, or he gets a static
IP, does he/she needs to ask for another V6 IP?

Thanks,
Hetz
