Exactly. Actually, I would go one step farther, if you don't have native v6 as a standard feature, you aren't offering "Tier 1" (whatever that is) internet access and are offering only a subset of the Internet. There really isn't an excuse for the major providers not to be ubiquitous v6 native at this point. I agree, v6 should be "standard internet", not anything special or premium. In fact, customers should be demanding discounts for v4 only service. It just isn't worth paying good money for substandard capability.
