I would agree that ipv6 offers one thing at this time that is not as readily available as it was a few years ago... IP space.
That being a known issue, the best place to implement ipv6 is at the edge router, but this would be a dual stack where your router would convery to ipv4 internally, until such a time as the gateways, endpoints and ITSP's also offer ipv6. While I think it's a good idea to have a plan, I don't see the point in building something if noone is coming for 2 or 3 years. Does anyone know when ipv6 will be available on gateways and phones too? Not to mention wireless dect/802.11 wifi base units for handheld devices? Or iphone/androids for sip apps? I understand the need to move to ipv6. I simply am not sure being there really does anything if all the registrations and gateways "aren't" there anytime soon.
