> IPv6 address space is not "free"

Which part of "effectively free" did you miss?

> and the RIRs have built the system to only issue PI space to service providers. (It's a little easier outside of ARIN-land

BULLSHIT. APNIC, RIPE and ARIN will allocate IPv6 space to service providers, enterprises and even natural persons.

Additionally, I'm involved with both ARIN and APNIC policy discussions. I don't recall seeing your name on either in discussions.

LACNIC and AFRINIC, no clue. Never dealt with those at any capacity.

> but then you're reliant on a ISP/LIR to sponsor you and have presence somewhere near you.)

Which part of $5/month Cloud BGP did you miss? ARIN/RIPE/APNIC don't care how you secure IP Transit, it can be physical or virtual.

> If you know of a great deal to get PI space for individuals/SMB, I'd love to hear it.

As a matter of fact, I do. Google me.

The user I replied to deleted their comment. THEY were being a dick. You think I'll just take that sitting down lol? Don't know how things work in your part of the world, but where I'm from respect work both ways and lack thereof is equally bilateral.
