They will have a second IPv6 transit uplink when they have a pTLA. The
second transit provider don't want open BGP session without pTLA/sTLA.

Please read the archive before !
When you have pTLA allocated with unassigned ASN, only one contact
person,... Are this pTLA conform to RFC2772 ? Why they have been
allocated ?

It's not a problem of address space size, when you request a pTLA it's
for be independent and present in worldwide routing table.

A lot of pTLA allocated have never make end-user assignement...
Why a pTLA request for make end-user assignement must be denied because
the requester can use the upstream address space ?
