In general, I don't think one should expect innovation from business. IT departments are always behind the curve, and the sales reps at the vendors don't understand the technology that they're selling. I think IPv6 will start to take off when it solves a problem that geeks have.
And I'm arguing that it solves that problem now. From my laptop, I can access my machines and those of certain friends of mine with no difficulties. There are no ISP firewalls in the way, or anything crazy like that. The ports being visible on IPv6 only means that I don't worry about zero-day exploits as much.
How I think this translates into future take-up is that someone will eventually start hosting torents on their v6, or running a pirate site, or a porn site, or something that the ISP would usually catch and sensor. If content is king/queen/Prince[0] I'd expect it to start in that realm. More to the point, I assume it already has. So in the dorm rooms, on this super-imposed network, we'll slowly find things that people want, and the demand for it will kick in.
And it'll be interesting to watch ISPs, law enforcement and such to catch up, as always. =)
[0] Prince is the best I can come up with for transgender royalty, sorry.
