I think the presentation also mentioned that a lot of the applications supported IPv6 which is also important but still not useful if the wireless provider does not provide IPv6.
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.
This hotspot operator is providing IPv6 access for free until the end of 2008.
