Network operators don't really care about multihoming; they already have 
it by becoming "pTLA/sTLA".

Getting customers is another issue, though.

However, enterprises not going for IPv6 "because" of a lack of multihoming
solutions is, in most cases, just a good excuse.  If not for multihoming,
there would be something else; usually only rather big corporations
multihome using BGP + multiple advertisements, or similar other techniques 
like more specific routes.

Many don't even (need to) know what multihoming means.
