And it's not "native". A great many (myself included) have IPv6 *by  
choice* through various tunnels. And AT&T (Uverse) isn't "native" either  
-- it's a 6rd tunnel their gateways have been programmed to setup  
automatically (based on the public IPv4 address.)

And Earthlink ("Eye Pee Vee What?"), and TWTC (pre-L3), and TWC ("not  
available on that node", and "not available through that gateway"), and  
Sprint, etc. etc. etc. etc. Verizon _Wireless_, yes. Verizon FiOS, NO.  
Verizon Business (f.k.a. UUNet), "maybe".

That's the issue for Fortune 500's. They ("we") care more about cost than  
feature. IPv6 isn't valuable enough to justify the added expense for an  
ISP that does have their act together. (which, in my experience, is "no  
one".) And Amazon doesn't do IPv6, at all; so there you are.
