How do you know - have you asked 100% of the service providers out there and they've said unanimously that they're only going to supply a single IPv6 address?
Huh? Who said anything about 100%? It would take only a single reasonably sized provider that has a monopoly in a particular area (tell me that doesn't happen) or a pair of them that have a duopoly (almost everywhere in the US) and you instantly have huge incentive for someone to write some v6 PAT code.
Believe me, I'm the last person who wants to see this happen. It's a horrible, moronic, bone-headed situation. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's going to happen because it's been the status quo for so long, and because some marketing dweeb will make the case that the provider is leaving revenue on the table because there will always be some customers who aren't clever enough to use NAT and will buy the upgraded "5 pack" service.
