Hesham, 

VOIP with SIP seems like a good app for enterprises.  I think IPv6 helps.

John

Admittedly I can't remember where I read it, but I've come across
a suggestion that enterprise networks adopting IPv6 is likely to
happen before ISPs provide it in any big way, as enterprise
networks have more to gain from the technology (well, possibly,
assuming they can be convinced that "proper" address space is
better than NAT). 

=> I'm a bit confused as to why enterprises would be interested
in v6. There are even prorietry solutions that allow for VPN
access behind a NAT. And enterprises are not known for encouraging 
p2p apps for their employees. So this business case doesn't
seem like a winner to me. 

My hope has been that p2p apps will one day be "needed now" and 
force people to turn v6 on in their networks.

   Once enterprises have it, they will then ask
for it from their ISP. 

=> Sure, but it's not clear that they'd be early adopters. 
Autoconfig of addresses will not be enough, if they ever use it.
