Yah,  we were going to get allocated 1/8 down here in New Zealand but 
APNIC did some tests of it and found pretty huge traffic levels to some 
addresses (i.e. 1.1.1.1, 1.2.3.4 etc) and have now held them back as 
APNIC R&D addresses.  So the pool of available goes from 10% to 9.999999% :)

On a side note I've been working with it here and am suprised at how 
much kit is being sent out right now (ADSL routers etc) that doesn't 
support IPV6 in any form.

This is guaranteed to be a crazy switchover.

It would be good to have some public test servers for IPV6 (i.e. similar 
to the Digium phone call in the dialplan).
