So what exactly do you find not to your liking?

 - it is hard and/or expensive to get a big block of IPv6 addresses?
 - it is complicated and/or expensive to get an AS number?

I assume that you complain that you cannot have as many IPv4 addresses
as you want.  I'm sorry, *this* is something address policy cannot fix,
as we cannot magically create more than 32 bits of IPv4 space.

The plain fact that you *can* get a /22 for a new LIR is what I consider
a success of the policy process - imagine what you'd do today if we did 
not have a "last /8" policy that put aside a significant chunk of addresses
to precisely enable you to have something today.

have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
