At the 31th RIPE Meeting was said that by January 1999 RIPE would start delegating IPv6 addresses: "January 1999: start allocating IPv6 addresses (depends on IANA to be ready to allocate to the regional registries and on the registries to get their databases and procedures compliant)". FCCN is a pTLA at the 6bone and, as a service provider is interested in having real IPv6 addressing space as soon as possible. We would like to know, if possible, what is the sate of IPv6 address allocation, and what is the procedure one has to follow in order to obtain IPv6 addresses.
