Heard that they are somewhat picky about who they AAAA-enable. Our campus
has had native IPv6 everywhere and upwards all the way to Geant for many
years. We are thinking of applying in the hopes that it will boost IPv6
usage.  Did you have any trouble getting them to IPv6-enable you?  Anyone
from Google in the list with any informative comment?
