What I heard at a recent (within the past six months) conference was that "there is no customer demand for v6" so it isn't on the immediate needs list. He said they had a lot of inquiries about v6, but to date not having native v6 wasn't a deal breaker with anyone.
Last time we renegotiated transit contracts, we specified IPv6 as an absolute requirement. *Native* IPv6 was an added plus. As it turned out, two of our chosen transit providers could deliver native IPv6 from day one, and the third a few months later. Native IPv6 availability was one of several factors used to make the decision between transit providers. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
