I probably should have been clearer in stating that between 2010 and
2014, Cogent's IPv6 coverage improved significantly. Although we knew it
was not the complete view, it was close and had no material impact on
our IPv6 capabilities re: our customers either way, as a function of the
value their network offered us overall for the amount of money we pay to
them.

In 2010 and 2012, Cogent would have been in a position to be the sole or
one of two upstreams for the networks I represented.

In 2014, they are one of 7x upstreams + tons of peering. So we were more
relaxed.

Mark.
