If indeed one believes that's there more functionality for having end-to-end IPv6, then presumably their competitors will roll out services which make use of these capabilities, and Amazon will feel some pressure to follow. Operating through NAT-PT is not very exciting and it's not going to take much (e.g. quality video support) to cause major content providers to want to have native end-to-end communication. Amazingly, it creates an actual motivation for existing IPv4 content sites to considering adding IPv6 support, which is something we've lacked to date. /John
