Can someone from Google or Yahoo (or any other major provider) comment on their IPv6 plans?

Few weeks ago I had interesting discussion with *unnamed* Google VIP. His answer has been: "Google engineers doesn't see need to spend money on building IPv6 infrastructure. You, as user, can motivate them by sending request supporting this idea."

So did you write your e-mail to Google techies?

BTW there is probably a way to motivate users to use IPv6. If some players (and I think there are some in this list) will make some "premium" services available only over IPv6 and do it for free, this can motivate users to go forward. Yes, this costs money, but ... everything costs money.

Nice example is to stream video over IPv6 in better quality or provide IPv6 peering for better conditions than for IP.
