[CoLoCo] (Fwd) [coisoc] World IPv6 Launch Announcement

Tue Feb 28 20:44:19 UTC 2012

If you live in/around Greenwood village ipv6 might work for you now.  They
have only turned it up for a couple of cmts's in this market(Denver area)
that I know of.  Should be more soon (may already be).  Comcast is
staunchly anti-NAT,  we have posters at the office and everything, so there
is alot of pressure to get the ipv6 show on the road once the kinks are
ironed out.
