I would love to see a few more properties do IPv6 by default, such as =
ARS, Twitter and a few others. After posting some links and being a log =
stalker last night the first 3 hits from non-bots were from users on =
IPv6 enabled networks.
It does ring a bit hollow that these sites haven't gotten there when =
others (Google, Facebook) have already shown you can publish AAAA =
records with no adverse public impact. Making IPv6 available by default =
for users would be an excellent step. People like AT&T who control the =
'attwifi' ssid could do NAT66 at their sites and provide similar service =
to the masses. With chains like Hilton, McDonalds, etc.. all having =
this available, it would push IPv6 very far almost immediately with no =
adverse impact compared to users IPv4 experience.
