Hesham, 

VOIP with SIP seems like a good app for enterprises.  I think IPv6 helps.

=> I'm a bit confused as to why enterprises would be interested
in v6. There are even prorietry solutions that allow for VPN
access behind a NAT. And enterprises are not known for encouraging 
p2p apps for their employees. So this business case doesn't
seem like a winner to me. 

My hope has been that p2p apps will one day be "needed now" and 
force people to turn v6 on in their networks.

=> Sure, but it's not clear that they'd be early adopters. 
Autoconfig of addresses will not be enough, if they ever use it.
