True, but none of them is a "killer app" that would cause a mass 
conversion.  The main impetus was the address space shortage, and they 
took advantage of the opportunity to address some other limitations of 
IPv4.

But since the address space problem has been abated, I don't see any 
rush to switch.  When I was working for Genuity I don't think anyone was 
giving any thought to implementing v6 on our backbone, and when Level(3) 
took over there was still none that I heard of.  I expect similar 
attitudes at most ISPs.
