Additionally, tunnel providers can and have shut down permanently at random - SixXS was among the largest providers, and they shut down operations entirely last year. So any folks using space from them had to renumber, either on to another tunnel provider's space, or to ULA. Re-numbering has associated costs, which in the case we're pointing to here, could've been saved had they deployed on ULA space instead.> You donât need an allocation. Get an assignment. Owen
Petition the RIR's (and IETF?) to set up a HE like service for 'micro' end-users? Self-registration and $4.99/year gets you a pseudo-GUA /48 to keep forever but currently understood as not accepted by your ISP. Some day maybe there will be an efficient way to provide global reachability.
