If you want choices in your transit providers, you should get a transport circuit (dark, wave or EPL) to a nearby carrier hotel/data center. Once you do that, you will suddenly find that virtually almost everyone in the competitive IP transit market will provide you with dual-stacked IPv4/IPv6 service.
The future is here, but it isn't evenly distributed yet. I'm in North America, but there are no IXPs in my *state*, let alone in my *continent* -- from an undersea fiber perspective. There is no truly competitive IP transit market within Alaska that I am aware of. Would love to be proved wrong. Heck, GCI and ACS (the two providers with such fiber) only directly peered a handful of years ago.
If you are buying DIA circuit from some $isp to your rural location that you call "head-end" and are expecting to receive a competitive service, and support for IPv6, well, then your expectations are either unreasonable, ignorant or both.
Interestingly both statewide providers *do* provide both IPv4 and IPv6 peering. The trick is to find a spot where there's true price competition. The 3 largest statewide ISPs have fiber that meets a mere three city blocks from one of my POPs, but there's no allowable IX. I'm looking at you, AT&T. -- Jeremy Austin Whitestone Power & Communications, Alaska
