Send them two e-mails, and two faxes. But all of those should contain "you have 30 days to object, or we will move forward anyway". I'm all for giving people a reasonable way to object, and/or "protect" the things they run. I think though giving them an opportunity to stop any process completely in its tracks is, well, stupid. I'd get involved in making the process less stupid, but frankly IANA politics make my head hurt. :) -- Leo Bicknell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.tmbg.org pgptvSfenffl0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I believe there are either four or five root servers with currently operating IPv6 capability that will be the initial listing. This particular problem is all but solved, and should be done in under a month. -- Leo Bicknell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.tmbg.org pgphEwK75X0qK.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: v6 gluelessness
Hi, even if Randy is successful to get IPv6 glue records added to the the root zone, how would I get to them? This is not obvious from my corner of the net. $ grep -i named.root $ grep -i named.cache $ $ for l in a b c d e f g h i j k l m ; do host -t $l.root-servers.net ; done a.root-servers.net has no record b.root-servers.net has no record c.root-servers.net has no record d.root-servers.net has no record e.root-servers.net has no record f.root-servers.net has no record g.root-servers.net has no record h.root-servers.net has no record i.root-servers.net has no record j.root-servers.net has no record k.root-servers.net has no record l.root-servers.net has no record m.root-servers.net has no record $ -andreas -- Andreas Ott K6OTT [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think the model where you get high speed for X amount of bytes and then you're limited to let's say 64kilobit/s until you actually go to the web page and buy another "token" for more Y more bytes at high speed? We already have this problem with metered mobile phones, which of course is even more complicated for users due to different rates depending on where you might be roaming. Customers want control, that's why the prepaid mobile phone where you get an "account" you have to prepay into, are so popular in some markets. It also enables people who perhaps otherwise would not be eligable because of bad credit, to get these kind of services. I'm also looking forward to the pricing, all the per-byte plans I have seen so far makes the ISP look extremely greedy by overpricing, as opposed to "we want to charge fairly for use" that is what they say in their press statements. I think that all those people who think their kids spend a fortune on their Cell Phones are in for a very rude awakening... when their "plan" runs out of bandwidth on the 6th of the month. Flat rate text messaging was created for a reason... this is fighting that reason. -- Jeff Shultz
