Canada and IPv6 (was: Ars Technica on IPv4 exhaustion)

The point is that you can offer IPv6 to a lot of people using various instatntiations of 100.64.0.0/10 but using globally unique IPv6 addresses providing them full true internet access without NAT.

Yes, 6rd is a stopgap, but 6rd stopgap is better than multi-natted IPv4 only.
