Please somebody correct me..Can't a provider simply NAT the IPv4 at his
gateway, and stream IPv6 to as many wireless customers as he can lock into a
painful long-term contract? (just kidding!)

The demand for /8's won't change any, and you can IPv6 and eat your cake
too. I do understand the v4 to v6 NAT'ing may be an issue...

I actually use mine.  But it's behind a proxy, as I suspect nearly every
other provder's WAP gateway is.
