We'd probably request a prefix fairly quickly (within 6 months).  We'd
then likely work on getting our services v6 capable for 1-2 years,
unless there was a solid business reason to go faster, like a client
requiring native v6 connectivity/services.  That's unlikely, unless
much of our client base is watching the progress of 2005-1.

I don't think we'd get beyond 25% of our current services deployed on
v6 within 2-3 years without a major high-dollar driver.  (This is, of
course, entirely my own opinion/guess, not necessarily my employer's.)

Heck, if a solution comes down the road that makes PI space
unnecessary, we might be able to give it back before we get too far
along.  Of course, nothing like that is on the horizon.
