The civilian portion of the Federal Government has been told to roll out IPv6 on an aggressive schedule:
http://www.cio.gov/Documents/IPv6MemoFINAL.pdf
"Upgrade public/external facing servers and services (e.g. web, email, DNS, ISP services, etc) to operationally use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2012"
"Upgrade internal client applications that communicate with public Internet servers and supporting enterprise networks to operationally use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2014"
Many issues remain to be solved:

Yes, we need something like NAT66. You might not. Send your flames to other forums.
Any words of wisdom from sites with Mac OS X and/or iOS that have IPv6 running?
