yea... maybe they do, I don't see that from my view of 7018's routing
data (limited as it may be)
Interesting.

Looks like they have established a tunnel in the United States perhaps?
how did you gather that? Maybe Tom knows more about this and can let
us all know?
From:
Remote Access Service to IPv6 Internet
* Support IPv6 for small (or satellite) locations and individual remote
users
* Reach a dynamically configurable IPv6 Tunnel Gateway through IPv4 ISPs
through fractional T1, DSL or dial-up access
* The Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP) will be used to create tunnels to
transport IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network to the gateway
wow, 'tsp'... uhm, what's that I wonder? This:

perhaps?? yeek!
Yes looks like. Especially with the mention of DSL/dial up access.
Plus I seem to recall some discussion around the ipv6 mandate having
some language specifying they had to support it transit wise, but not
necessarily be on v6 addresses. [1]
Anyone from .gov with ATT connectivity care to comment (both on the
nature of the native/tunneled v6 offering and the actual requirements of
meeting the mandate)

"Meaning the network backbone is either operating a dual stack network
core or it is operating in a pure
IPv6 mode, i.e., IPv6-compliant and configured to carry operational IPv6
traffic."
