If you have an IPv4+IPv6 capable server around, you can set it up yourself if your ISP hasn't made a proxy available. There are various NAT64 implementations you can use; running them and setting up a DNS64 server is all you need to make such a feature available. You'd probably also want to add a firewall/whitelist to prevent other abusing your NAT64 gateway, though.

world ipv6 day (24 hours) was in 2011.
world ipv6 launch (turn it on & leave it on) was in 2012.
(ppl mix the two up all the time, understandably!)

Anyway, ipv4 definitely has a problem, and something is going to have to be done eventually.
