I'd be very interested in knowing how these stats were calculated - 12% of the United States on IPv6 seems a bit high. Maybe what Google is saying is that "It's Available, but we're not saying people are using it." - For example, Comcast has had IPv6 widely deployed for at least a year, so most of their customer might be identified as "Available" - even if their browsers aren't doing a AAAA lookup for www.google.com.

The page says "The graph shows the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6.", so I would assume this would mean people are actually using it.

Can somebody explain how Belgium achieved 28%? It's the only country that's colored bright green.

Telenet (one of the biggest ISPs in Belgium) deployed IPv6 for their whole customerbase.

They plan to have all up-to-date modems provisioned with IPv6 before the end of this year.

Out of curiosity (I live in the UK, a country that does not believe in adopting new technologies less than 5y after everyone else), with IPv6, there is no need for a NAT anymore. Will the local networks be directly on the WAN? Will be interesting from a security/privacy point of view. Unless routers act as firewall, in which case we are back to square 1...

Interesting. Belgium shows up so small in the map in that page that I didn't even notice it was bright green, and therefore didn't include it in the title.
