I do _not_ agree to the pTLA request until CTN1 let us know a bit more about
what their plans are.

e.g., IF they DO have plans to operate a large scaled IPv6 Network, WHY is
it
impossible to become a LIR and get REAL IPv6 address space.
"I have put 1.000.000 EUR. I respect your job respect my company!!!"
So, there shouldn't be a fincancial problem in this case.

As Gert said, 6bone is (nearly) dead, and is not a place to provide
commercial
services to customers. So, which research projects does CTN1 support and/or
provide?

I think we've read enough chitchat by Mr. NDSOFTWARE, and I'm awaiting
eagerly
a statement by CTN1.
