The cited reasons are: 1) growth has been stagnant 2) many ISPs offer IPv6 3) some ISPs have told customers that they don’t need to provide IPv6 connectivity because the customer can just use a tunnel from SixXS This last reason in particular made the SixXS team think they are doing more harm than good in the fight for native IPv6, so they will be shutting down on June 6.
