for the local LAN that is true - IPv6 uses multicast methods rather than 
broadcasts for some of the local functions.....  for the wider WAN its not 
true -
I can get to IPv6 services on google etc just through standard unicast 
methods.

one day YouTube etc wont just use unicast to send streams...well, I can 
dream! ;-)
