+1 Some the Internet backbone is already IPV6 and interoperating with the IPV4 network. To get a idea of just how widespread IPV6 is go to an IPV6 Looking Glass site and take look for yourself. I use http://www.ipv6.lava.net/cgi-bin/lg.pl Just follow the link, select BGP and UNICAST and then click submit. The result is a real-time dump of Lava.net's IPV6 routing table.
