IPv6 internet broken, cogent/telia/hurricane not peering

Hi, I recently noticed that there seems a peering issue on the ipv6 internet. As we all know hurricane is currently the largest ipv6 carrier. Other large carriers are now implementing ipv6 on their networks, like Cogent and Telia. However, due to some politics it seems that they are not peering with each other resulting in a broken ipv6 internet currently. I noticed this by using the looking glasses from telia and hurricane. This is only a real problem if you use hurricane as the only transit. However, hurricane also announces 6to4 relays. When you happen to use the hurricane relay server (due to the shortest path), cogent and telia (and maybe more) are not reachable. I already asked hurricane about their point of view. They simply just ignore it because they 'are the biggest one'. I'm currious about you point of view. regards, Igor Ybema Senior network Administrator Oxilion
