The US government still owns about 30% of the IPv4 block.  However, with
NAT, that's not an issue.  IPv6 has a very slow adoption rate in the US
because of NAT and the high cost of switching to IPv6-enabled commercial
equipment.

My own ISP uses IPv6 externally, but internally, it's all IPv4.

Trying to manually subnet a IPv6 address is damn near impossible.
