We have a few months, but by the end of 2012, any major site needs to be serving IPv6.
Unlikely. ISPs are just going to start forcing users to use NAT more aggressively, use tunnelling, etc. No residential client is going to be given a connection that's incapable of accessing IPv4-only sites until virtually all sites have switched, which is probably at least a decade from now. They'd (rightfully) cancel their subscription on the grounds that the Internet doesn't work.
Of course, it would be great if we could switch sooner, and I hope we will. But it's not like we'll *need* to.
You're making assumptions here that the residential ISPs in the US and Asia have stated aren't true...
