The most interesting thing here is that it's the only thing to break the 'chicken and egg' proposal in years. The "We're not deploying v6 because our upstreams can't deliver it" argument has been one which is touted about for ages. Couple that with "We can't even get a price out of them" and you have a set of reasons which have been used to justify non-action for at least 5 years. Here we are with a provider, willing to not only build v6 infrastructure if it's in demand, but has even given us all a ballpark price for it, AND offered to deliver it to a place where most of us have a POP anyway. Question for you James. If someone buys a v4 transit link off you, do they get v6 for 'free'? In other words the same price they would pay for a similar amount of additional v4 capacity. If you all think the price is too high, then let I'd encourage you to James know that and he can feed it back into his business case. No one however is going to be able to use "I can't get native transit so I'm doing nothing" as an excuse again =) What do people think, is this the real reason nothing has been happening? Or were you all just tricking =) Dean Joe Abley wrote:

Would anyone who would likely be interested in a $500/month few mbps of native IPv6 type product contact me to express such interest :-) Of course anyone interested in IPv4 transit contact also feel free to email, that itself would clinch the business case :-)
This seems interesting. I don't believe I have seen anybody trying to sell a v6 network access product for money before -- the usual approach seems to be to sell v4 and give v6 away for free.
