Re: The IPv4 countdown clock
Level 3 should be able to do ipv6 for you. They claim that they have it running across their backbone. I'd certainly not pay for a second port or recurring charge for the addresses. We actually use L3 as one of our providers where I work but haven't asked them about routing our IPv6 traffic yet. We have a smallish block (/48) from one of our providers and we are using it for testing on our backbone. When we are ready to go forward we'll probably get our own allocation so we can allocate addresses to our customers.

I looked at setting up IPv6 at the ISP I work for sometimes and one upstream wanted more than we'd be willing to spend (and another port!) to do it, and Level3 never responded to my requests, so I don't even know if they offer it or not.
I think we'd pay a setup fee, but I don't see any point in paying any recurring costs above our current bandwidth charges to connect to something that's half-baked. |

I'd say so. 
Still looking for an ISP that starts to deploy IPv6 addresses along with IPv4. Sounds like a lot of the big backbone and tier 1 providers are ready.
Nice to see more news about IPv6 every day now. »www.infoworld.com/article/07/08/···6_1.html

Thought this would be appropriate for this forum.
