IPv6 deployment?

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Coincidentally (or not?), Comcast notified me yesterday that I'd been
accepted as part of their IPv6 beta rollout (to be deployed at a date
TBD).  Don't know if it's too late to try signing up -- I did so a month
or two ago -- but I guess it never hurts to throw your hat into the ring. 
http://www.comcast6.net/ for more info.

P.S.  And, yes, it does look as if they're still seeking maso^H^H^H^H^H
beta testers.
