[arin-ppml] IPv6 /32 minimum for extra-small ISP

[Davis, Terry L]

Agree!

So we also don't get it into labs or just available on the dev networks for the apps folks to play with and learn.

And even the startups are still not picking it up.  Of course like you pointed out, they are cash starved already.

And if it were openly available, sure some of us would grab an address for home nets/labs.  Would that be bad too if it gets more folks exposed and playing with v6?


Take care

Interesting how costs have been bandied about, a few days ago
it was $2250 now it's $1250.

Please tell me the name of an employer where any employee who
is NOT a salesman can go to his or her boss and say "Can I go spend a 
thousand bucks on something that has no justification for existence 
other than we might need it sometime in the future?"
