Hi Michiel,

On 2017-08-08 12:58:12, you wrote to me:

(They have an English version of their website too, but I didn't check if that also includes their price list.)

Well you want a port for your webserver too. So maybe it's 10/y. Still not too expensive.

We'll see...

I'll do the pioneering as long as it's possible. That doesn't mean I absolutely need IPv6. It's nice to have and do the pioneering, but it isn't essential right now. ;)

 MvdV> There may come a day that they have no choice...

I highly doubt that...

 MvdV> Sure. But they are no longer an independant company. The share holders of

Then they will fold up the business all together, or sell it to someone else. It's still an independent "daughter".

 MvdV> My once geek friendly ISP, hccnet, did not survive being eaten by

It was probably smaller...


Bye, Wilfred.
