ACK, just look at the "Allocated" column at:

http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/tla/ripe/
http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/tla/arin/

Better disregard the "First seen" column, it seems to be incomplete
in many cases.

Agreed, this doesn't tell much how usable those were for any serious
transit (probably almost none).

Unfortunate, even today there are not many option of transit ISPs
who have a real native dual-stack deployment (I consider 6PE to be
native)... most have just tunnels inside. Currently I cannot think
of more than... hm... 3-4 ISPs who can deliver real amounts of
native US-EU bandwidth.

No, they weren't, but they are now. :-)
