Actually, the issue now is convincing certain big providers to actually
make IPv6 service available to their customers in data centres and the
like across their *whole* networks rather than giving people the
"there's no demand so we can't justify the cost" run around. (I'm
looking at you AS701.)

For that matter, it would also help if certain large end user providers
would make IPv6 available rather than giving a standard "we have no
information at this time" type response. (I'm looking at you, Shaw.)



What's worked for me is not signing or renewing or buying things that lack IPv6 support. I realize that may not always be possible but it does work better to require it from the sales side than as a technical problem to try and solve later.
