[6bone] Getting ISPs to use IPv6

[Bill Manning]

% investments in moving to IPv6.  Unfortunately, in the US ARIN seems to be
% wanting to use the same IPv4 mentality with distributing V6 blocks of
% addresses.  We (I mean the internet community.) should encourage the liberal
% distribution of v6 addresses to as many ISPs as possible by reducing the
% cost and required justifications.  

	Have you checked recently on ARIN delegation policy wrt	
	V6 delegations?  I didn;t think so.  

	The kicker is not address availablity.  The next big hurdle
	is CASH.  The opex/capex costs of providing IPv6 -WITHOUT-
	impacting the razor-thin margins that IPv4 demands (see SLA)
	are a bit high for most major ISPs.
