And you don't need to be pushing this to customers immediately to be
getting ready. As discussed at NANOG37, Comcast is pushing out IPv6
initially to manage cable modems and set-top boxes (http://
www.nanog.org/mtg-0606/durand.html). While this doesn't benefit
customers directly, it gets the routing environment set up to handle
IPv6, it gets the operational staff up to speed, and lays the
groundwork and infrastructure for when consumer IPv6 is more of a
reality.
