The hype and the reality... maybe not the same thing :( I suspect,
reading the wording of the press releases and such the devices and
network gear are supposed to be v6 capable, that doesn't mean they'll
be deploying v6 on day-0 :( I'm personally taking a 'show me' stance
on this, I HOPE vzw does the right thing and launches with v4/v6
dualstack on the devices in all regions where deployment happens. I
don't have much hope that this will actually happen though :(

I suspect you'll see something like a private-ipv4 and maybe
public-ipv6, but that's just a guess on my part.
