Lets see - They want free v6 service (we're talking about 6bone
here)...  They'll have to deal with the fact that routing policy dictates
that each city in the ASN has a block of addresses from the aggregate from
which space is assigned.

If they don't like it, they can get their own _portable_ address space.

Sorry.  I don't, nor will I ever, overcomplicate network topology when the
only "good" thing it yields is easy portability for non-paying
sunscribers.

Call me mean.
