Fortunately mobile phones are a huge use of the internet today so there is some significant traction there, but not really for wired service (cable/fiber/DSL). And often those who do offer IPv6 won't give you a stable allocation so you can't properly leverage a /56 for your own networks. You end up having to use NPTv6 which is basically NAT (sorta, it just replaces half of the address and replaces it with whatever your ISP is currently giving you)
Still not a lot of movement on IPv6 with some of the largest websites/providers. Amazon is now trying to push customers to IPv6 and charging more for IPv4 addresses, but they aren't deploying IPv6 for all their own services ... :sigh:
