Hi Andrew, This is where things start to get interesting. Corporate uptake…
I know that some ISPs give v6 to all customers, I wonder how many of them use it? I have spoken to a few corporate customers to try and understand the barriers and interest. Some, its bureaucracy different departments for LAN, firewall and then change control etc, for some its time – simply not high on the priorities board to allocate recourses, others its training and then the previous issues. I have managed to get one to agree to take it, offered to assist them with the implementation, but that has still to go somewhere…..

We have to educate our corporate consumers – because unlike the consumer market where you can turn on v6 through ISP controlled access to the CPE’s and it just works, corporates, you have to actually sit with them, discuss, and get them to move, because getting it to the edge of their networks is easy – getting them to enable it through firewalls etc – that’s another story.

Internet service provider Liquid Telecom Kenya has warned that Africa is set to run out of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses as early as next year, potentially slowing down digital growth in the continent. Read on:- http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Liquid-Telecom-warns-of-looming-address-shortage/996-3410850-format-xhtml-aub5sm/index.html Couple of questions:- 1. How involved are we as a community in ensuring the smooth transition from IPV4 to IPV6? 2. What have been the major impediments to the successful migration? 3. How can we move the needle faster?
