Shoving IPv6 into the DOCSIS3 spec was really forward looking for the industry.
Meanwhile Verizon's only visible contribution to getting IPv6 on FiOS has been to delete their IPv6 on FiOS FAQ.
It's a crying shame that a service born in 2005 (10 years after RFC 1883 was finalized!) apparently has no transition plan for IPv6. Even if it wasn't enabled at launch, the network should have been designed for v6 support from the start.
I believe that IPv6 is a threat to Verizon's business model. Without net neutrality, V can be a paid gatekeeper to centralized services; IPv6 is a tool useful for connecting decentralized resources, and so erode's one of V's revenue sources.
