    ML> Hah .. ah well .. one could route 2000::/3 or 3ffe::/16 for 6bone.   
    ML> There was always a way :)   
      
   Yeah, routing 2000::/3 was the way to go, and as you'd suspect, that did work   
   fine. :)   
      
    ML> See .. I fixed that differently. I came from a telecoms and ISP   
    ML> background. Worked as technical manager for my first telco '97 and   
    ML> onwards. So in 2006, I created my own ISP. By 2008 we offered native   
    ML> IPv6 to our residential customers and were hosting a SixXS PoP on top   
    ML> of that. We were the first and only ISP in Ireland to offer residential   
    ML> customers IPv6 by default.   
      
   Once my ISP went officially live with native IPv6 in 2011, it was turned on by   
   default. :)   
      
    ML> I also claim the fame (infamious) to have been allocated the first PIv6   
    ML> allocation in the RIPE region. I literally submitted my application   
    ML> during the meeting at RIPE, when the policy was passed :) It was a step   
    ML> backwards in IPv6 thinking, but a step forward to bring entities onto   
    ML> IPv6.   
      
   Gotta get in early. :)   
      
      
   ... This is one sick group. I feel that I've finally found my home.
