[6bone] 6to4 anycast in US instead of Switzerland?

[John D Smerdon]

I have a SDSL connection at home and have been using 6to4.  My
provider is Concentric/XO and when using the 6to4 anycast address,
my first hop on ipv6 is switch.ch.  

Is anyone offering 6to4 anycast in the US, preferably in the midwest,
or by a peer of XO in Chicago IL?

If there is a closer 6to4 anycast network, would it be reasonable
for me to request XO to preference a different AS in their BGP for
the 6to4 anycast network?

Thanks!
