This applies to telcos, Cell Carriers, CableCos, Internet Carriers, etc.  I do *NOT* do "specials" (free calling for the first six months and for the rest of the three year contract you will be ripped off at every turn).  I do NOT want PA space -- that is fine for little rubber people who use gmail, but not for me.

I am simply not interested in subjecting myself to the vagaries of dealing with the brain-dead and the incompetent (having PI space is fantastic for weeding out the incompetent).

Keith,

If a "PIv6 for legacy holders with RSA and efficient use" policy were 
adopted, would you be willing/able to demonstrate efficient
utilization of a direct IPv4 assignment or allocation covered by a 
current ARIN RSA in order to get an IPv6 PI block from ARIN?

Would adoption of such a policy prompt you to adopt IPv6?  Would you 
support such a policy proposal?

Thanks,
Scott
