On top of that, awareness and understanding need to change. The ease of use, SEO advantage and the memorability of IDN's are enough to pretty much guarantee that this will happen. However it will still take time. First critical mass must be achieved in browser penetration. Then the Advertising agencies will start selling their clients on the advantages of upgrading to an IDN. Then you will start to see ads with IDN's in them as commonplace. From this people start to realize that domain names work as an Index and their browsing habits start to change. This is the point that you can expect to see significant change in type-in traffic.
All this will take time. Russian is an excellent example of the progression. Their Auto-Update started more than a year ago.

Thank you, Clotho. Less than a million machines a day... It was stupid of me to have thought all the machines would receive upgrade notification at once...
