This seems to actually be happening in real life.
One of my clients signed up for a new telstra biz connection today. Thanks to the wonderful telstra people signing him up for a totally new account and phone number rather than just an upgrade. I got to see their signup email.
It had these fields in it.
Note those fields are blank, but they are there at least

Customer LAN IPv6 Delegated Prefix:



Customer LAN IPv6 Networks:



If you wish to use Telstra's DNS resolvers, your equipment should be configured with the following IP addresses:

IPv4: 203.50.2.71, 139.130.4.4

IPv6: 2001:8000:101::1, 2001:8000:101::2

This is a damn good thing!  IPv6 might just gain some serious traction.... because face it... for every $1 Telstra spends on IPv6 awareness... we benefit from at least 80c of that!

Telstra moves business ADSL services to IPv6

Telstra has extended the availability of IPv6 services to its business ADSL customers. It announced that it was allowing SME customers to opt-in to using the newer internet protocol.

The carrier's migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is being done gradually and follows the availability of IPv6 in the Telstra Internet Direct network in 2011 and the Telstra Next IP network in 2012.

David Robertson, Telstra director of transport and routing engineering, said that consumer services would also follow. "We have a long-term roadmap for deploying IPv6 capability into our networks and are pleased that many of our business customers can use this new service to support the transition of their networks to IPv6. The deployment of IPv6 into Telstra's network is an on-going program of work, and we'll make this available for other services such as fixed consumer and our wireless networks over time," Robertson said.

"As stocks of IPv4 addresses diminish globally, we need to continue moving to the new addressing sys- tem. By dual stacking IPv4 and IPv6 in our network, customers can opt into IPv6 in their own time, and according to the lifecycle upgrade of their own equipment. We're developing the network capability so customers can commence the move to IPv6 as it suits them," he suggested.

"In coming years we expect that IPv6 will become the norm and customers will need to opt-out if they wish to use IPv4. However as we start this transition, we'll be working directly with customers to support
them as they make this change," Robertson explained.
