Any additional 6to4 relays (using the default anycast address) would be 
welcome, although it would be really nice to also have some of these 
outside Europe!  Let's not forget that for those of us without our own ASs 
(and who don't have an IPv6-capable ISP), 6to4 is the only good way that we 
can get IPv6 connectivity.

I'm located in Silicon Valley (USA), and right now I'm using 
"6to4.ipv6.microsoft.com" (2002:836b:213c:1:e0:8f08:f020:8) as my 6to4 
router, because it's far closer to me, topologically, than any router 
that's currently being advertised on the anycast address 
(2002:c058:6301::).  But I hate having to 'hard-wire' in a 6to4 router 
(especially one located at Microsoft :-); I really wish I could just use 
the anycast address, and automatically get a router that's 'close' to me.

However, the real question to ask here is: Why are more 6to4 relays not 
being advertised to the world using the default anycast address?  The 
answer, presumably, is that there's no incentive for anyone to do 
this!  What incentive does anyone have to provide a 6to4 relay (and, thus, 
bandwidth) to outsiders?  With this in mind, can we ever expect public, 
anycast 6to4 relays to become more widespread?
