IPv6 is already in use on Internet 2, which is pretty prevalent at
universities. More info here:

http://www.internet2.edu/html/about.html

Other than Internet 2, it's hard to say. Workarounds like NAT and CIDR kind
of make IPv6 not necessary, even though NAT is a horrid solution from a
technical standpoint.

The experts don't agree on when, if ever, the migration to IPv6 should
happen. Some attendees at IETF meetings are adament that it's time to plan
for the conversion now. Others scoff at the entire idea. Others seem
irritated that the problem wasn't fixed with good solutions that were
presented almost 10 years ago before the Internet exploded. So, it's fraught
with political problems, not just technical.
