However these factors still exist no matter how an organisation gets its IPv6 space. For instance most content providers don't offer stuff over IPv6 because there are very few people using IPv6. So, in general, from their perspective there's a small audience for v6 content that doesn't justify the costs of providing it. That isn't likely to change even if the content providers got v6 space "for free". > > I doubt address allocation policies are having an impact on IPv6 deployment or uptake. IMO the drivers for that have still to emerge: like the lack of v4 space (or its price compared to v6) or the operational pain of even more NAT and ALGs. I can't agree more, hopefully LTE will become some form of IPv6 killer app but at the moment indeed AP is not the problem causing the lack in IPv6 deployment. MarcoH
