  a) from their ISP. IPv6 contains no provider-independant addressing
     at this point.

  b) by using 6to4, they get their own /48.

  If your ISP doesn't have IPv6, then they won't have addresses, so
you'll need a tunnel solution anyway. 6to4 is very good for this.

  One successful method that I've used is to get a tunnel from he.net,
set up the BGP listening, and use that tunnel for all 2001: addresses.
Run your own 6to4 converter at the edge.
  (Better to get a geographically significant tunnel, which I do elsewhere)

  That way, one routes through the tunnel to the 6bone, sending one's
2002: sourced data, which others then send back using whatever their
topologically closest 6to4 router. The irony is that, given sparse IPv6
network, 6to4 addresses most closely follow the topology, since they
follow the IPv4 network.
