Just saw this new site: http://www.worldipv6launch.org/
Many large companies and ISPs are planning to finally go live with IPv6 by June 6, 2012.
I don't see Verizon (my ISP) on the list though :(. I'm glad to see companies moving forward with IPv6!

I kind of feel left out with all the fanfare now, having launched IPv6
many years ago.

You can always do the Grand Re-Opening thing.. 
Can we have a "What took you guys so long?" banner? 
Another very sad thing about it:

www.worldipv6launch.org is an alias for www.worldipv6launch.org.edgesuite.net.
www.worldipv6launch.org.edgesuite.net is an alias for a1448.b.akamai.net.
a1448.b.akamai.net has address 72.246.53.104
a1448.b.akamai.net has address 72.246.53.8
I don't seem to be able to get to the site on IPv6.

Well not before June 6, duh! You don't open Christmas presents in August
either! :^)
I heard that it initially had AAAA records. After the site
couldn't keep up with the initial load, it was migrated to
Akamai's CDN (the DNS records you see now are those), and
Akamai doesn't yet offer IPv6 in production, so no IPv6.
Akamai does have a trial IPv6 program though - we host IPv6
capable Akamai nodes on our campus for example, and a non
production version of our university website is using it -
so ISOC could try seeing if they could be hosted on that
infrastructure.

there are places in this world with working v6 at scale.... the folk
involved COULD use them.
(I thought, actually, that akamai's v6 offering was actually
production, just not wide-spread?)

My question is when is FiOS going to get v6 natively? could we get the
engineers there to actually do something as opposed to trials of
non-production systems that'll never actually get deployed? 
-chris
Not sure - our Akamai support people have so far not told us
that it's production ready (we ask periodically; maybe we aren't
talking to the right people). And thus far, they haven't
permitted us to point the www.upenn.edu AAAA record to Akamai.
A non production name (ipv6.upenn.edu) mirroring the same
content does have a AAAA to Akamai though.
But, checking www.worldipv6launch.org just now shows that it
have IPv6 records now:

In fairness, it is up on IPv6 today. I don't know exactly when that
happened, but, kudos to ISOC and Akamai for getting it done
fairly quickly.

My understanding is that some areas have native IPv6 on FIOS.

Btw did someone noticed DNS setup of project site is really crazy!

1. No A or AAAA record on main worldipv6launch.org
2. www.worldipv6launch.org has cname to Akamai
I just successfully accessed it using IPv6. The service is real, not just the DNS record. The address I accessed it at was 2600:809:600::3f50:411.
Hi Fred
You can access on www.worldipv6launch.org but not
http://worldipv6launch.org (without
www)
It's available on IPv6 on www since Akami node has AAAA and seems fine.

Someone missed a redirection record for worldipv6launch.org to
www.worldipv6launch.org
really? I terminate on the same CO/l3 device the testing was done (you
know, the one that was press-released ~1.5 years ago?) ... no v6 for
me... and as near as I can tell each sales/support person I talk to
says: "ipvwhat?"
I would bet that the VERIZON fios deployments are non-v6 everywhere...
which is just sad, for the internet and for verizon.

not everyone puts their web content on their domain? nothing to see
here, please drive through...
I wonder when Comcast and Verizon will get into an IPv6 advertising war.

LTE has V6 natively and it gets used today...

True, but VZW and VZO are two different animals.
