Why this briefing?

Leading businesses are implementing IPv6 now. The operating systems, network devices, software interfaces and standards are ready. IPv6 address space is being allocated and connectivity is available from an increasing number of Internet Service Providers.

In certain areas, IPv6 roll-out is not only inevitable, it is already happening. Even so, for many, IPv6 is something that they believe will never happen.
