I know of at least one mobile provider in Sweden, Finland and Germany that have IPv6 enabled for at least part of their device base.
Some have chosen IPv4v6 (providing dual stack) which means they can do this with Apple devices today, some are IPv6 only which means they're like T-Mobile waiting for the Apple App universe to come around to being IPv6 only supporting.
This is encouraging to see. None of the major mobile carriers in eastern, western, central and southern Africa have done anything IPv6-related on their network that I am aware about. The availability of IPv4 space in the AFRINIC region, coupled with the ease of spending millions on CG-NAT's vs. rolling out IPv6 means unless they start, someone's pants will be at their knees in a non-picturesque way very soon. The lack of interest, head-in-the-sand approach is quite alarming, particularly as mobile networks are increasingly carrying the majority of consumer data traffic in Africa, year-in, year-out. Mark.
