Hi, As far it's dedicated for IPv6 PI holder (not always it is a ISP - like me) which are not a transit providers for other than it's own users or usage, the idea from NetAssist is OK.
I'm really happy that more IPv6 initatives are comming. Today mostly HE taking all tunneled bgp session, it's good to have some alternative and redundancy for IPv6 traffic. Maybe HE will loose monopoly of this. Happy BGP-tunneled NetAssist user.

Really...tunneled connectivity without link monitoring (can't with tunnels), latency/throughput checks or quality checks using a route server? As Randy would say: I suggest everybody else to use that! Please though do not do this, it will just make IPv6 SUCK for everybody using that. For the few ISPs who are in a remote location who cannot get native IPv6, let these people connect to their CLOSEST native connectivity point. I'll repeat again: if you know of ISPs who want IPv6, but cannot get it, let them send an email here. I am sure that various real transit providers will make them offers they cannot refuse. A setup like you propose with 6assist is fun for people who want to LEARN how BGP works, but for real connectivity, please just do not do it. Greets, Jeroen
