I can't imagine any Asian country's ISP that has used 16777216 IPs. Even so, they could still have 1114112 more IPs by using 192.168/16 and 172.16/12. Do you have a pointer to which provider this is?

There are some DSL providers in some Asian countries who are very interested in IPv6 because they've almost exhausted 10/8 and weren't able to receive a public /8.[1]
I'd check that the board were happy that your customers won't be able to host web sites or email servers that can be seen in v4 space or even run p2p apps with v4 customers.
When I looked at v6 some 10 years ago (I bought a book) it seemed to me that the world all had to change together and that's not a cutover I can see working too well.
There is an education network in Catalonia that is IPv6 only[2]. They are using proxies to allow access to the traditional IPv4 Internet for specific applications. So there is no need for the entire world to cutover at once. And as Philip says, dual-stack is probably the method that a lot of companies that are transitioning will use. Cheers!
