They're certainly not the only provider that employs a public IP address- intensive access model, so where are the other retail IPv6 trial announcements/pre-announcements?Other providers are moving in that direction, atleast a couple are (as a swag) 6-18 months behind Comcast ... /TJ
I have no particular reason to to doubt that claim, and lots of reasons to actively hope that you are right. That said, the appearance of more public commitments like this -- and sooner rather than later -- could make a large difference, e.g., by reducing the general level of uncertainty (and uncertainty-amplifying speculation) during the terminal stages of IPv4 allocation. While no commercial entity would (and none should) willingly make such a public commitment before they're ready, it would be prudent to consider the potential downsides of that looming uncertainty when making judgements about how "ready" (or perhaps "ready enough") should be defined.
