Adam, Actually, the reason SIXXS shut down is exactly the opposite of what you said. SIXXS shut down because IPv6 adoption was going too slow and a number of ISPs were actually telling their customers "we don't plan to implement IPv6 because you can get it from SIXXS if you really want it." In effect, ISPs were using tunnels as a way of *reducing *IPv6 rollouts.
Vick, I also have an HE tunnel at home because my ISP is dragging their feet about implementing IPv6. In fact, my main guest WiFi network runs *only* IPv6. Most of my guests only care about Gmail and YouTube, and those have been IPv6 enabled for ages. It's an experiment to see how many visitors can get away with not noticing that they have no IPv4 connectivity.
