> With IPv6 support and adoption a whole network could be set up independent of any other authority besides BGP.

Private individuals have access to IPv4 blocks and maintain their own soverign networks. That fact doesn't change the reality that most people most of the time pay a network operator (ISP, Telecom) to operate their network. Network operators aren't going anywhere, and these network operators still maintain full control over how packets transit their network. In the case of WWAN networks, they will also know roughly where you are.

All IPv6 does is expand the address space and put the price of an address within reach of anyone... but it doesn't change the knowledge or hardware required to run your own network.
