I guess you misunderstood what I mean ?
I'm not looking down from the sky.

I'm looking at a small part at the edge of the Internet.
A small company want to move to ipv6 and want to minimize
troubles and risks. Then they want to transition to IPv6
in the way I described above.


	of course you are watching over from the sky.  you are sure that

What I'm talking here is not about reachability or quality of connection. It's just about smooth transition from what we 
have today to what we will have tomorrow. One day transition
may not be realistic, though. And it's about the unpredictable
troubles including system failures and also reachability problem
because of local mis-configuration or something like that rather
than the Internet status.


	you just have to switch to better IPv6 provider.

So, give me money please ;)


	so you are spending more money on bad management technology and
	management labor costs, rather than to spend money for decent IPv6
	connectivity services with less expensive management costs.
	hmm.


I guess not so many company can have good-quality ipv6
connectibity from the start.


	we are both from Japan, and we have NTT and IIJ at least!
	wait a minute, your domain name seems to be nttv6.net...


We and many of people in this ML have good v6 connectivity, I hope.
From now, we have to make every other people move onto v6 world, right ?
