[6bone] pTLA request by NECTEC-TH - review closes 10 March 2003

[Daniel Austin]

Hi,

We just got offerred IPv6 production transit by NTT/Verio... but i'm not sure the world is ready to pay for it yet.  We'll see what
they say though.
How many truly ipv6-enabled applications are out there and in use?
How many ipv6-enable websites are there (that are not to do with the 6bone or NOC pages?).  are there any *useful* ipv6 websites out
there?
We have ipv6-enabled our PHP and proftpd mirror sites, but i dont think i've seen a single person hit it from IPv6 other than
myself.


With Thanks,

Daniel Austin,
Managing Director,
Kewlio.net Limited.
