Perhaps you're asking the wrong question. Perhaps there's no reason  
for any operator not to deploy a 6to4 relay for use of their  
customers; perhaps the problem instead is that there is no clear  
reason in the eyes of those operators to bother.

Does it make the helpdesk phone ring less? Will it cause an average  
ISP to win more customers this month? I suspect the pragmatic answer  
to both is no.
