Something from Clara at the MCA: *** START *** In the first quarter of 2008, the Ministry for Infrastructure, Transport and Communication (MITC) published its national ICT strategy, the Smart Island Strategy, outlining the ICT objectives to be achieved by Malta in the next couple of years. IPv6 was referenced in the strategy. MITC has now passed to the Malta Communications Authority (MCA), the responsibility of paving the way for the deployment of IPv6 in Malta.
To date, the MCA had voluntary launched (and subsequently chaired) the Maltese IPv6 Task Force. In few of the new responsibilities recently passed on to the MCA, the authority is currently in the process of drafting an IPv6 strategy for Malta. It will be taking into consideration the 25% target set by the EC and evaluating the measures that will need to be taken by Maltese stakeholders in order to achieve (or at least approach) the percentile IPv6-uptake defined by the EU. *** END *** She is much more informative!
