% We have a local internet exchange in Perth called "WAIX" and i am hoping to 
% get some ipv6 transport happening over that
% The founder/guy who runs it has expressed interest but naturally he is a 
% busy man and since not that many people are into it i guess its not high on 
% his to-do list
% 
% My local uni has connected through aarnet, and you can get a 'tunnel' from 
% 6bone@progsoc.org.au (email) who come of [i forget]
% 
% As you said, the 4 TLA owners there are unlikely to do much - a shame.
% 
% Is it possible for a 'group' to get a TLA?
% maybe an informal associated of people from random ISPs and just people got 
% together and got a TLA which they could do stuff with?
% I'd be interested.
