Something in the GUI?

IPV6 is present, to my knowledge, on all devices on the Verizon IPV6 
LTE network.  I noticed its using it to communicate to Google for many 
of it's services when I ran a netstat.  I believe they mandated 
support for it from any certified device.

Unfortunately, it's still firewalled.

Hi NANOG,

I'm looking for some information on the four largest US mobile 
phone carriers and the current state of their IPv6 infrastructure.
Specifically,
we are trying to figure out:

1.  How much of the carrier core and edge for AT&T, Verizon. 
T-Mobile, and Sprint are on IPv6 now?

Hi,

T-Mobile USA has native ipv6 to all subscribers in all of it's 
coverage area. But, less than 1% of subscribers use IPv6 because 
they do not
have
an
IPv6 capable phone. The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus work well.

This device challenge will improve in time.  Samsung is doing a 
good
job
of
bringing IPv6 to Android devices. More info here

That's interesting.  I have a Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile USA and it
doesn't
get an IPv6 address, only IPv4.  Works fine with IPv6 over my 
wireless network at home.  Doesn't seem to be anything obvious in 
the settings to enable or disable that.

Paul
