I know that some services (e.g.: youtube) already have native ipv6 being served for existing http streaming mechanisms.

I'm not sure where all the other individual services are in that process, but if they are behind the popular CDNs, 
e.g.: Akamai I believe its just a simple provisioning box one selects with them to enable IPv6 as well.
