Re: dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential customers

And just how are you going to make all of us small ISPs, or the big ones

I don't disagree with you, but I think the conversation needs to 
continue assuming that is not going to happen.
And that may not be what happens within a large organization that uses 
private connections to consolidate connects to the Internet.
