So what exactly are you doing that a typical university that performs IPv6
experiments and research is not doing?   A university doesn't get a pTLA,
just a /48.  We offer connectivity to end users.  We have FTP servers, we
run BGP, etc...

A similar question came up about a Swedish university a while back that
wanted a pTLA to "do BGP" and have a lot of peers.  I don't recall the
result of their pTLA application.

That aside, I think the style of presentation of routing info/etc on your
site is good, and more "genuine" providers could usefully make such views
of their routing info public.
