How so? It is always fun to read that people have 'problems', but it is=20
even funnier then when the person's name isn't even listed in=20
whois.sixxs.net and thus doesn't even have an account, nor am I able to=20
even find a single email from either opus1 or your name, thus I really=20
wonder what things are 'problematic' for you. You might be interested to =

try this marvelous thing called the World Wide Web, and read=20
http://www.sixxs.net/contact/ and when you have done that, use this=20
great invention called email to contact us, if you still have questions=20
about things, that is why that page is there, clearly people are scared=20
by it and don't dare to ask...

Then again, if you are a real ISP, you will have to do what everybody=20
else in the business is doing:

  - get a block from ARIN (or your favorite local RIR :)
    http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/dfp/arin/ doesn't list you,
    thus you might want to start out there
  - arrange transit
    - this generally means you are going to pay for bits
      just like in the IPv4 world.
  - fix your routers and the rest of your network

Though SixXS is there to get people going in using IPv6, it definitely=20
is not meant to support your full business process, if you require that, =

go pay somebody who can give you their full attention, there are lists=20
in the FAQ with organizations who can do that for you for that purpose.

Greets,
