Are you implying that there is unlimited free IPv6 bandwidth ? Nope. > If not, why would they do that ? Imagine the following scenario: "It's 2009, the world reaches the end of it's ipv4 supply. As large global networks are still struggling to implement ipv6 on their equipment, their customers are facing more and more problems to get additional IP-space from their RIR's and are forced to use ipv6. But due to the lack of planning, only a number of access-isp's have successfully deployed ipv6 on their networks and so we have shattered native ipv6 connectivity throughout the internet. To encourage the access- and carrierindustry, (adult)contentproviders in all continents decide to boost the demand for ipv6 connectivity and offer their services for free to ipv6 users, for a limited period of time." Why did the internet grow so fast in the 90's? The public was able to access the network and created the demand for more content. This content attracted more and more eyeballs, and thus more commercial activities were deployed, resulting in a exponential growth of the network. Without eyeballs, contentproviders are not encouraged to deploy ipv6. Without content, eyeballproviders are not encouraged to deploy ipv6. It's a matter of time before one of them will be forced to end this circle and there is only one way to attract a large audience: giving a way your service for (nearly) free. -- Sabri please do not throw salami pizza away
