Re: [RRG] 2 billion IP cellphones in 2103 & mass adoption of IPv6 by currentIPv4 users

About 11 minutes in there is a list of mobile devices that have support for IPv6, this of course doesn't address the issue of whether it's allowed to be enabled by the user on a given wireless provider's network

I can set up a mobile provider data connection on my Nokia E61i and specify either IPv4 or IPv6 (but not dual-stack), but not much else; I believe that IPv6 is supported on the WiFi interface, as well, but it is always-on, and cannot be enabled/disabled or configured by the user in any way, AFAICT.

To date, I've not encountered a mobile provider nor a hotspot operator offering or actively planning to offer IPv6 connectivity, but that's just my subjective experience; perhaps others have examples they can share. If I were to hazard a guess, it would be that IPv6 may show up in DCNs (as it has in the cable broadband access space) before it does on the production network.
