Usually, afaik, ISP's are already at an IX and also have their upstreams there and are mostly operating from a colo close to that IX, thus being at an IX also directly makes one have multiple upstreams and thus at least one of them having IPv6 connectivity available.
Interesting thought. This may be true for some smaller countries, but believe me, it's MORE expensive to get a line from "somewhere in Germany" to one of the major IXes than to get upstream from a number of big ISPs at wherever you are. (The ratio changes if you reach a given size, but for small bandwidths, say "below 20 Mbit/s.", going to an IX is just not financially attractive) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 71007 (66629) SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 D- 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-234
