Of course, that is fairly easy with NAT, but the principle is one that makes me feel very uncomfortable. We work so hard to see IPv6 expanded, it feels like a small setback -- or at least a jab -- coming from such a large company.

This can include meetings, mobilizing networks, relationship building, outreach, etc.

If HE started dishing out tunnels this week, maybe it could be
addressed, script/database changes to ensure U.S. residents get a slice
of different pie, that netflix could whitelist, but since its been going
for many many years, that is not possible, not easily possible anyway
without dropping and changing all existing U.S. users which would bring
about a tsunami of complaints for other reasons, so no, HE wont be doing
anything in the future :)
