I imagine that at some point more and more mobiles will be programed to use ipv6 exclusively. Those mobiles that can will be able to take advantage of the ipv6 connection. Those that can't will use the "old" ipv4 network.

The beta is just to help tmo iron out the wrinkles. Think gmail or google voice. beta first, then free to everyone later.

If I were tmo, I'd offer a cheaper rate to ipv6 uses to encourage adoption.
