> Dear Comcast Customer,=20
>=20
> Thank you for volunteering to participate in Comcast's IPv6 trials! I =
wanted to provide you with a quick update on what our next steps are and =
when you can expect to hear from us again.
>=20
> As you know, we have four trials described at http://www.comcast6.net. =
We're in detailed planning on the first three: 6RD, plus native =
dual-stack for residential and for commercial customers. We expect each =
of these to start sometime within the next 90 days or so.
>=20
> 6RD Trial:
> We anticipate having customers from around our network, not limited to =
any specific areas, participate. We will start the trial on a very small =
scale and then progressively increase the number of participants. We =
plan to ship a new home gateway device to each trial participant.
>=20
> Residential Native Dual-Stack Trial:
> This trial will be limited to a few areas in our network. We are in =
the midst of determining precisely what those areas will be, based on =
where we have volunteers and where the infrastructure will be ready. If =
trial participants do not have an IPv6-capable home gateway and cable =
modem, one will be provided.=20
>=20
> Commercial Native Dual-Stack Trial:
> This trial will be limited to a few areas in our network. We have =
tentatively identified these trial areas and will soon be in touch with =
potential trial users.=20
>=20
> Within approximately the next 30 days we will begin to contact some of =
our volunteers regarding each of these trials, so expect to hear from us =
soon.=20
>=20
> Thanks again for your interest!
