We have just (anecdotally, empirically) established earlier in this thread, that anything smaller than a mid-sized business, can't even *GET* IPv6 easily (at least in the USA); much less care about it.
fwiw, that last time I was at a company that needed a prefix, we wrote up an addressing plan, applied, received an assignment, payed our money and were done. if a pool of public addresses are a resource you need to
But were you able to get transit that let you use the address space?
The entities that we pay money to to provide us with ip transit were willing to carry our ipv6 prefix yes, at the time, not all of them could do it on the first-hop router.
I'm sure it's getting better, but as recently as 2 years ago it was near impossible to get for most areas (and most providers, and most colo facilities).
talk to your sales person, then make sure that their AS appears in the ipv6 DFZ. The well connected ASes at the center of the graph are prepared to sell you services.
