hmm the current routers are not compatible with ipv6...so basically it's all junk ;)
there might be a converter but you'll prolly only be able to go one way or need a series of them...either way it's not worth saving your 50 dollar linksys ;)
As for the ISP question, I dunno. But i'd say yes. You still need a central location to route all the traffic which is all the Internet is...A giant routing mechanism that is sending traffic where it needs to go. The ISP won't need to break the ip address down as much and they could be more lazy with the management of IP address. Right now in No. VA you have to have a commerical account for verizon dsl to give you a static IP, basically cause there isn't a whole lot of them to give away for free...with ipv6...it'd be like hording dirt...it could feasibly run out, but not likely
