1- http://onlyv6.com is not resolving ..... 2- why would anyone be interested in buying "bit-pipes" from you if you don't own fiber or ports in a switch? 3- why would anyone be interested in buying ip address space if they can do it from SP's themselfs or apply for that ripe allocation? 4- ICIN 2009 highlighted the fact the SP#s are interested in rolling out new ethernet services - that has been happening for the past years! 5- http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html shows the V4 exhaustion - the depletion of the IPv4 allocation pool has been a concern however is still in use. Understanding the v6 migration is driving the change. http://www.usipv6.com/6sense/2006/mar/pdf/UnderstandingIPv4AddressExhaustion.pdf just seems that it follows the switchover to digital (2012) http://www.eurescom.eu/Public/Projects/P1900-series/P1952/default.asp

Assuming your ISP is providing your DNS. What if I, as a new start-up in the IPv4-exhausted world, want to buy pure bit-pipes from my ISP, and be responsible for *everything* further up the stack? I don't believe this is entirely uncommon. Regards, Tim.
