Ipv6 help

Another approach (not likely to be any more successful than others mentioned) is to get the tech journalists to understand and write about the issues. That has the greatest chance of amplifying the message, but also given the poor quality of journalism across the board, I don't suspect it'll be easy to get a competent enough journalist to care.

Somehow, I don't see this happening. 

Most ISP's probably know a little bit about gaming because the engineers 
have a console at home, or in the NOC. To get them to a level where they 
are actively asking customers not to buy games developed for Sony, at 
scale, is probably an entire project on its own that a basic ISP can't 
justify time for. 

Also, it's unlikely that end-users are going to listen to advice not to 
buy Sony games. All they'll hear is, "My ISP doesn't know how to fix 
this, so I must find another one that does". 

We need a better plan. 

As with everything in life, it probably comes down to a "Vijay Gill 
moving ATDN to IS-IS" type-thing, i.e., an actual person that 
understands what to do, cares about IPv6, and has influence within Sony. 

Mark.
