I wouldn't count on it - it seems they plan on a rather limited trial on fios where they control 100% of the CPE. They only started shipping the router they've qualified for it late last year, and even so they are pushing a lot of firmware updates to it.
Not that it would be of much help to folks stuck with private space in the near term - it's not like their gaming or file sharing peers will be on routable 6. Except for some VOIP providers the big traffic sinks with 6 enabled are just bog standard http.
If this isn't just sabre rattling it's pretty stupid that heavy hitters like verizon are SOL while so many old school /8's sit around 99% unreachable. Somebody needs to cut the shit and start the auctions.
