[AusNOG] SMH: "No room at the internet"

[Kevin Karp]

Hi Daniel

 >How many of Australia's ISP's are willing to start handing out IPv6 
subnets then?

I've no idea what the number of ISP's are that are willing to do this 
especially as we (Studentnet) are not an ISP.

Having said that Studentnet started handing out /64 subnet's to 
individual client schools (each school has their own /48 reserved for 
future use) in early 2009 and has been allocating further subnets to new 
client schools continuously ever since. We have schools using these 
Nextmail accounts Australia wide with one school with a Singapore presence.

 > And at what prices?

Well the address allocations come as an incidental feature of a much 
larger bundle of collaborative functionality that are charged at per 
student pricing per annum of $3.50exGST. Some of the smaller schools are 
only paying a few hundred dollars per year.

There is no specific charge for the address allocations as such and you 
cannot purchase the product without receiving the allocation so I'm not 
sure I've provided much of an answer to your question.

>  Especially to the home user (a.k.a network engineer's test environment).

The schools aren't home users as such, but the students can use their 6in4 transit service from their homes - or anywhere else for that matter.

Hope this helps.

Kevin
