Well, if you want my business, you'll do it.
If not, I'll route around you as damage. If enough customers approach =
the problem this way, it will happen.
In addition, I think a large number of providers are already seeing that =
static is, for the most part, just simpler
to manage in IPv6 and considering going that way. The cable MSOs are the =
obvious exception for semi-obvious
reasons specific to their technology.

Why assume the less likely case will come to pass? IMHO, static is more =
likely than dynamic given the
forces at play.

A large organization that does that should get their own PI space and =
multihome. Why would they do anything else?
