I think the above two points illustrate precisely why so many networks in North America simply cannot deploy IPv6 whether they want to or not. We simply cannot obtain IPv6 transit from our upstreams.

Apparently the need for IPv6 isn't yet high enough to consider adding a transit provider. I've seen enough press releases from NTT and HE to know there's at least two that can do this out there.
Funny, I was just involved in a discussion on IPv6 in Canada yesterday, and this link came up from multiple people: http://bgpmon.net/blog/?p=382 . There's also http://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/detailed.php?country=ca&type=ISP , but I've seen some indications that there may be some inaccuracies (Allstream announcing 2001:04c8::/33, for instance).
