And this is something that RIPE and ARIN cannot directly
change. RIR policy can only encourage or discourage ISPs from
carrying 99% of all routes. I think that the current policy for
IPv6 is one which discourages people from using IPv6. Adding
a second type of IPv6 address that is allocated geographically
to allow greater topological aggregation (i.e. based on which
city the network is in) will encourage use of IPv6 by making it
easier for people to get IPv6 addresses.
