Why is your company treating IPv6 turn ups as a sales matter?

We treat it as a technical request - a MAC of sorts.  The only time we would treat it as a sales matter is when the customer requires technical assistance with their configuration or network design (different matter).

Hiya folks,

Why are your respective companies treating IPv6 turn ups as a sales
matter instead of a standard technical change request like IP
addresses or BGP? Sprint and Qwest, I know you're guilty. How many of
the rest of you are making IPv6 installation harder for your customers
than it needs to be?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
