Nothing to get to?

	Google (including gmail, you tube, and many other google services)
	Yahoo
	CNN
	Facebook
	Netflix
	All of the RIRs
	Blogspot
	Blogger
	Mozilla
	Feedburner
	Flipkart
	Most US Government Public sites
	Dreamhost
	Cloudflare
	AT&T
	And many other web sites are, in fact, reachable via IPv6.
	

Admittedly, it's only 35,329 of the Alexa 1M, but, many of them are very popular web sites (as listed above).

Even more if you include the ones named ipv6.<domain>

How do you propose that ARIN do so other than by making it easier/cheaper to get IPv6 space for those services?
