How so? It is always fun to read that people have 'problems', but it is 
even funnier then when the person's name isn't even listed in 
whois.sixxs.net and thus doesn't even have an account, nor am I able to 
even find a single email from either opus1 or your name, thus I really 
wonder what things are 'problematic' for you. You might be interested to 
try this marvelous thing called the World Wide Web, and read 
http://www.sixxs.net/contact/ and when you have done that, use this 
great invention called email to contact us, if you still have questions 
about things, that is why that page is there, clearly people are scared 
by it and don't dare to ask...

Then again, if you are a real ISP, you will have to do what everybody 
else in the business is doing:

  - get a block from ARIN (or your favorite local RIR :)
    http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/dfp/arin/ doesn't list you,
    thus you might want to start out there
  - arrange transit
    - this generally means you are going to pay for bits
      just like in the IPv4 world.
  - fix your routers and the rest of your network

Though SixXS is there to get people going in using IPv6, it definitely 
is not meant to support your full business process, if you require that, 
go pay somebody who can give you their full attention, there are lists 
in the FAQ with organizations who can do that for you for that purpose.

Greets,
