AS3320/DTAG does have a trial IPv6 conenction to DE-CIX only.

We do not offer PNI but only more or less are a wholesale for DC PNI. We
could give numbers on how many PNI have been sold but don't have any
idea of hw much traffic goes across these PNI

Depends on your definition of 'major' and 'large' ... There are
interconnect points in Hamburg, Berlin, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt and
Munich. DE-CIX also runs IXP in Hamburg and Munich. INXS in Munich is
not really alive anymore afaik (News last updated [2009-10-26])

should really give all of the interesting places.

Besides the cities listed above there are IXP in Bremen, Dortmund,
Nuernberg and Stuttgart.

By heart I would say that 95% of all Germans live with a 100km radius of
these cities.
