Folks, I've been out of the ISP business for a while now, but may I make some observations: Many of the major content providers are IPv6-enabled. The question is for end users, how to use IPv6 to access these services. In the Netherlands, there is no mobile operator providing IPv6 connectivity. None! I cannot get IPv6 on my mobile connection! Also, in the Netherlands, the one Internet-to-home provider providing dual-stack IPv6 (w/o NAT mess) is being assimilated by it's parent who, after twenty-five years, is still technologically behind and can't deliver IPv6 themselves. The mitigation to get IPv6 access for endusers who can't get IPv6 from their provider (sixxs.net) closed doors two year ago. I am not aware of any VPN-provider offering IPv6 service to allow endusers to augment the limited offering from their service provider. It isn't a matter of "switch to a provider who has", for endusers, there is *nothing to choose from*. We can do all kinds of exercises (IPv6-only event networks, eat-your-own-dogfood exercises), but there must be reasons for having a business case for not providing IPv6 to end users. Perhaps they are non-technical, but reasons they are; if there would be a business case, people would be doing it. And perhaps these (non-technical?) reasons should be something the WG can look at. A fair number of members of this WG are related to the ISP industry and perhaps can shine some light as to the "why don't you" for access providers? Geert Jan
