[6bone] (OT but Relevant) Recent spammer tactics - BGP Hijacking

[Marc Hultquist]

I have to take my comments back on the sa being a long way off on the IPV6
scene.
It was stupid and as was pointed out to me by someone I was completly in the
wrong
in my comments.

Therefore I would just like to say sorry etc etc about any previous comments
or statements
I made.

Why would IPv6 we be a long way off ?

Okay let's test my geography <grin>

It appears that there are currently

2001:528::/32 TELKOMSAV6
2001:588::/32 UU-IPV6-1-ZA
2001:8f8::/32 AE-EMIRNET-20020920
2001:970::/32 TN-ATI-20021024

2001:528::/32 & 2001:8f8::/32 have not been detected by GRH though
the other 2 are visible. It's not much but it is something.
Africa probably needs even more IPv6 advocacy than the US :)

Greets,
 Jeroen
