Interesting. Thanks for the link.
Smart. That way it's easier for them to prevent their customers
from accessing media out of their control. At least for quite some
years ahead -- the US ISPs seem to be even slower to go IPv6 than the European ones. :(
I assume they didn't get sufficient IPv4 address space from ARIN for
the US market. So they were forced to go for IPv6.
Have you checked?
At least the home pages of Netflix and HBO are IPv4 only.
Unfortunately I have no tool on my SmartTV to check what protocol it's using when streaming programs to it.
Not from my horizon, I get IPv4 only report from my IPvFoo addition to Chromium. YMMV of course, it would be more interesting to know what the result from the US horizon might be.

But never mind. Just saying...
Come to think about it, I remember that you are a fan of bicycle
races. Isn't there something big going on in France related to that
ATM?
So how do you get your daily doses of that sports event?
Do you get it for free?

Arin depleted ger IPv4 stock in Sept 2015, so it is a reasonable assumption that T-mobile US can't get any more IPv4 address space. But
the the same would apply to RIPE and the European obile providers.
Back to IPv6. Rolling out IPv6 would require an investment (man power, software, hardware), something the big telcos want to avoid.
Their customer service sucks already and a sudden increase of service calls by customers about an IPv6 migration would become a nightmare.
As long as it works and makes money there's no reason to spend money
for IPv6.
And this not just true for the large US telcos but also for tons of
other companies.
