Apparently you don't know that you can BUY IPv6 transit and connectivity
in many different parts of the world (Actually I think almost
everywhere).

You might contact:
 - VERIO
 - NTT / IIJ
 - GlobalCrossing

and many others, as for endpoints, in Japan you can get a native IPv6
only line if you want it. That they don't sell it to your house yet
doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In the Netherlands one can currently
get Xs4all's PowerDSL which gives you native IPv6 and IPv4 on ADSL.
Chello has native IPv6 for most parts of europe as far as I understood.

So YES there is REAL commercial activity. And these people want it
to work as they got clients paying for it. Just like IPv4.

You might also note that the 6bone should have nothing to do with RIR
space.
And currently it has due to the 6bone mess.
