Big Increase in North American IPv6 Allocations in 2007
There was a big increase in the number of IPv6 network prefixes (/32s) issued by ARIN in 2007:
According to the raw data, there were 108 IPv6 prefixes assigned by ARIN in 2007. This is more than 2.5x the number in 2006 (39 approved prefixes), and almost double the previous record, 2005 (57 approved prefixes).
Suffice it to say, I don't much faith in the claims that IPv6 is dead.

Now, this is a good news and (finally) some strong evidence we're not only a couple of freaks believing in it =)
It is good to be optimistic. Sadly, only a handful of these sites (storm.ca, wvfiber.net, berkeley.edu and thinktel.ca) have IPv6-enabled their authoritative DNS servers, which leads to believe that they're not using their IPv6 addresses yet.
