I would assume we could get this done initially with private v6 ranges and then look toward getting a publicly routable range. However, in order to link back into the rest of the world someone would be required to put up bandwidth to do this and as such, it would be unfair to expect them to carry all the costs for everyone (hence a system to apportion cost, i.e - a billing system)
A point to consider here is that there _is no such thing_ as a 'private' IPV6 range in my understanding. When we began peering over MetaNet we used Freenet as an address broker, whether or not we intended on keeping our links to freenet active, as it was the only (somewhat) permenant way of getting addresses that other people arn't using.
