Actually, not so. We started early, and have lots of small players with
IPv6, but our big players lose big time. Look at Slovenia, or Romania,
if you want to see what "proper IPv6 deployment!" means.
So seeing DTAG (and some of our cable ISPs) move now *is* news.

So Germany is moving ahead in strides with IPv6 allocation, since the OP requires Southern Germany as a requirement for being local, surely that now destroys the only reachable by 1% argument...<BR>

Yes, I too am one of the people who ignored IPv6 for so long because mainly of the "boy who cried wolf" IPv6 exhaustion syndrome that we've been hearing from back in the mid, then late 90's and early naughties (all claiming exhaustion within 2 years) .... here we are, only running out in 2012, had all those kiddies not cried wolf for nearly 2 decades, and only started to yell out a few years back (when factual real evidence started to be seen), maybe, just maybe, the IPv6 ignorance would not be so prevalent. <BR>
But I think Australia is similar to, but still well behind Germany - small players offering it, large players have tested, but as yet, failed to roll out, so the 1% is fact over here <IMG SRC="cid:1353806902.5383.16.camel@tardis" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"><BR>
