Why Act Now?

• IPv6 adoption is the only way to ensure continued Internet growth

• Business continuity– IPv6-only parties can still communicate with you

• To calm your panicked CEO when he reads about IPv4 depletion

• For governments:– How is an IPv6-only citizen going to e-vote or file e-tax?

23



Spreading the Message

• Websites– IPv6 Act Now (www.ipv6actnow.org)

– RIPE Labs (labs.ripe.net)

• Events– MENOG IPv6 Roadshows

– IPv6 for LIRs training course

– IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2009, 2010

• Press, publications, websites– RIPE NCC as a “trusted source of data”
