I don't agree, if you are an accessproivder I think it would there is
one very important thing you can do or if you not yet able to do the
next best thing:

1. provide native IPv6 to customers
2. setup your own tunnelservice or if you think people won't use your
tunnelservice, setup relays

The more IPv6 the accessprovider provides the bettter the results.
Native or the closer the transition point the better.

Atleast that is the theory. :-)

I'm hoping they will correct some of the problems with it, but it
makes IPv6 harder to use for some people as the Microsoft one does
not appear to be well supported/connected.  I'm not sure if there is
an effort under way on Microsofts behalf to correct this, but I hope so.

This could be a host or relay-specific problem which may not be under
Microsoft control at all.  All the more reason for ISPs to run their
own local Teredo relay.
