Congratulations!

We were slightly later, not receiving our allocation before August 12, 1999
(9 days later!)...  looking up allocations, we actually landed before
WIDE (August 13), though ;-)

I was quite optimistic about speedy uptake of IPv6 back then... - and
in retrospective, we should all have pushed harder, before the installed
base of IPv4 grew so big and so commercially relevant.
