IPv6 is not broken by design. NAT was implemented to extend the time until IPv4 exhaustion. A side effect was hiding the internal IPv4 address, which complicates a number of protocols like FTP and SIP. The only downside I see is ISPs could try and charge based on the number of IPv6 addresses being used.
There should be plenty of addresses so the ISPs wouldn't have to charge much. I'm just wondering how routers are going to deal with the size of the route tables if they are not very carefully organized.
