This is a naive statement since it assumes IPv6 support amongst the clients. At least here in the US, such support is fairly minuscule.

In the US, today, one in 15 clients accessing google.com / yahoo.com / facebook.com is doing it from an IPv6 address.

And it's more than double compared to a year ago [1].

While indeed this still qualifies as "relatively small", I think it grew out of the "miniscule" :-)

I think mobile operators are going to drive the near term biggest uptick in ipv6 adoption.

My local ISP (small, independent) has no current IPV6 plans, which is actually a little bit annoying.
