It is sourced from AS31459, which is the BBC R&D AS, thus might be that it is still sort of experimental, but it is there.
This also proves one big thing to all the people complaining about getting a TLA. If the BBC can get it, any large organization can get one. If you can't you simply do not network well enough.
The BBC are probably a bad example in this case, they're more of an ISP/Content Provider than a typical Enterprise.
Thus do they reach the currently only 'problem rule' that is set to get a /32? -> to have 200 sites in the future?
The rule does not require you to have 200 sites in the future. The rule requires you to have a plan to assign addresses to 200 other organizations.
The BBC is for sure one organization, with likely a couple of sites though, but 200 would seem a bit on the high side.
If they are reselling IP services, then, likely they can find 200 customers to assign address space to (or at least have a plan to do so).
What I am wondering actually, if any of the people who mention they have problems with getting an IPv6 TLA, if they even tried getting one... and if they did why did it fail? Otherwise one would not complain ;)
If I wanted one, I could probably get one. However, that doesn't mean I have to agree with the current allocation/assignment policy. Owen -- If it wasn't crypto-signed, it probably didn't come from me.
