Well, just to give a rather hilarious example.

The "IPv6 Task Force" for the Netherlands, backed by the government. 
Given that it's an EU initiative, I think we will at least see a 
little v6 market in the EU for various local effects of that 
initiative ;)

Also, I believe that the site above doesn't have v6 connectivity yet, 
though are working on it (hosting provider doesn't do v6, the ISP of 
the hosting provider on the other hand does ;D)...
