My last message caused something else to occur to me – there has been a
lot of discussion both here and at NANOG about hotels being woefully
underprepared for the internet (and address) use that their guests generate
when a conference full of geeks and their multiple devices per person
descend upon them. Sometimes the IETF is successful at convincing the hotel
to let them take over the internet service in the guest rooms, sometimes
not.****

Perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone by starting to require IPv6
service in the guest rooms when we enter into negotiations with hotels. If
they don’t have it, we’ll be happy to temporarily take over the internet
service, or assist them in getting it enabled permanently in their existing
network, and if neither of those options are acceptable, it provides
negotiating leverage on other things. This also has the net effect of
starting to make it clear to hotel management that IPv6 is going to start
being mandatory for some subset of their guests before too much longer. **

I realize that having something in the contract doesn’t mean that we’re any
more likely to get it. But the fact that it’s in the contract makes a
statement in and of itself. IAOC, any reason why this couldn’t be added,
especially given how far in advance you’re negotiating with venues?****
