Tim, I am sure that there is a misunderstanding here. I never proposed anything that would limit the IPv6 address allocations to any organisation. What I said, however, that address assignement need some experiences - even if there are "plenty addresses"; those wanted to have IPv6 address should go to an experienced LIR; and anyhow, IPv6 networking is not a turnkey issue. Probably we need another two years for that. LIR not equal to an ISP.

2, You might heard about big research initiatives for the introduction of IPv6 service. A good example is 6net.
6NET will have initially its own infrastructure, and there is a good reason behind: it would be too risky to use a production network.
This is not the eventual address allocation restriction that will stop new IPv6-only companies to pop up, but the basic limitations of the technology and the installed services.
I disagree; if 6NET were a commercial project, not a EC-funded research and development project, we would want IPv6 address space. With your rules, we could not get it, which is very bad. Likewise with the Euro6IX project, where the partners are predominantly telcos rather than NRENs. Tim
