I believe Verizon's specs for 4G devices required v6 support from the start:

I seem to recall IPv6 support being a requirement for smartphones on their 3G network as well, but I can't find a 
reference for that.

Sorry, I read the original note as "it's all launching that day", not "starting on"....

no biggie, I get that they'll be launching 'cities' at a time, I'm
just hoping they'll be doing dualstack on each as they roll them out.
it'd be super nice if the only devices they permitted on were
dualstack as well (more incentive for OS and HW vendors to play ball).
