Agreed. Have that many ISPs started to roll out their IPv6 networks to subscribers?
IPv6 started kicking off at the end of 2010. It is linearly growing since that. I know at least of Japan and France having a good number of IPv6 eyeballs.
Google has a nice chart showing IPv6 connectivity percentage among its users: http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html
I know a ton of ISP have IPv6 internally already, deploying it to end users is a bit more challenging since it needs to work on various materials using your custom configuration and you will need your customer support team ready to solve the issues that might arise.
The french ISP did enable it a few years ago. They use a few kind of homemade hardware for all their subscriber and IPv6 is an option that need to be enabled by the end user. Comcast (a cable operator in US) has already ran out of IPv4 private IP to manage their network so happily worked on IPv6. I don't know about mobile ISP, but I am pretty sure some of them are using IPv6 as well. Though they probably use v6-v4 NAT systems :(
To sum it up, ISP and major content providers are ready. Migrating eyeballs will take slightly more time :-]
Anyway, we are diverging from the topic.
