IPv6 is available to the end user by default with many ISP's. just not on the lazy ones like Swisscom, Cablecom etc... ;-).
sorry - that's not entirely true! Sometimes you have a dependency on the Layer2-Protocol to support new Layer3-Protocols. It's now always as nice as Ethernet where you just change the Ethertype. For example take DOCSIS, you can use native IPv6 only with the 3.0 standard of DOCSIS, which most cable operators in .ch don't use yet....
So just think a bit before shouting "lazy ISP", the topic isn't that easy!
