Ok so basically, if more/most access networks were IPv6-enabled (because 
big or vital providers are IPv6 only) then all service networks would 
have to get it working?

Not unreasonable, but that's a very long term prospect I guess.

I'd be curious to know if people have suggestions that work shorter term.

I'm in agreement that shaming is not effective; but I'm frustrated and 
it just seemed so ironic that their public claims were so pro-v6.

Question for any access network providers: if/when you run into these 
issues, how do you plan to proceed? Leave the site broken and force the 
site owner to fix, or work around at your end and hide the problem?

No judgement either way, just curious.

Regards,
Phil
