Hi,

to followup on myself (sorry for that):

This is still my basic recommendation: talk to the NCC hostmasters, and
*iff* they reject your application, come and talk to us (lir-wg) so that 
we can fix the policy, if necessary (but this is a slow process).

Concerning the original question, a new idea just popped up that would
solve the problem of the "big transit providers" - we could adapt the
"200 customers" clause to "200 /48 assignments to customers, OR provide
transit to 20 other ASes".

Of course we might end up in dropping the "200 /48s" rule altogether, but
this is pretty much open at this stage.  

If you want to participate in the IPv6 policy making process - and all
of you are very welcome, of course! - please join the "global-ipv6" list 
(global-v6@localhost, send mail to Majordomo@localhost 
with "subscribe global-v6" in it).
