It's not that. If I wanted to use IPv6 at home TODAY, where would I go? DSL uses PPPoE here, which is IPv4 only. Cable doesn't offer IPv6 either. I'm also not aware of any IPv6 dial-up providers. Will 'residential' providers even allow multiple IPv6 addresses per 'connection', or will PPPoE suddenly get tremendously popular as a method for controlling the number of users on a connection. But it really all comes down to a chicken and egg situation. No one will ask for it until there's a foundation for it, and there won't be a foundation for IPv6 until customers start asking for it.
