   Hah .. ah well .. one could route 2000::/3 or 3ffe::/16 for 6bone. There was   
   always a way :)

   See .. I fixed that differently. I came from a telecoms and ISP background.   
   Worked as technical manager for my first telco '97 and onwards. So in 2006, I   
   created my own ISP. By 2008 we offered native IPv6 to our residential   
   customers and were hosting a SixXS PoP on top of that. We were the first and   
   only ISP in Ireland to offer residential customers IPv6 by default.   
      
   I also claim the fame (infamious) to have been allocated the first PIv6   
   allocation in the RIPE region. I literally submitted my application during   
   the meeting at RIPE, when the policy was passed :) It was a step backwards in   
   IPv6 thinking, but a step forward to bring entities onto IPv6.
