Not in a month's time, to be accurate, but still in only 5 weeks! 
IMHO, everyone involved in IPv6 deployment should be interested in this story.

> That involved almost no actual native IPv6; 6rd is an IPv6/IPv4 tunnel infrastructure. But it allowed them to provide both IPv4 and IPv6 *services* to their customers while they took time to think about what they wanted to do natively. They can change their network under the hood, so to speak, an their own schedule.

No intention to trivialize, but if one can separate "delivery of the service" from "deployment of the technology", it might make the road a little easier.
