Why do people keep talking about 200 sites? This is a fallacy.
The policy actually says:
6.5.=A0 Policies for allocations and assignments
6.5.1.=A0=A0=A0=A0 Initial allocation
6.5.1.1.=A0 Initial allocation criteria
To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organization =
must:
a) be an LIR;
b) not be an end site;
c) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it will=20
assign /48s, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated =
address allocation; and
d) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other=20
organizations within two years.
That's 200 other organizations, not 200 sites.
Note also the requirements for LIR and not an end site. I don't know if=20
this
is in line with the RIPE policies (which is probably what BBC had to deal=20
with,
but, this is the ARIN policy, and, since this is NAnog, I think ARIN is the
relevant policy).
