IPv6 Ready?
An interesting article in the news. Sort of submerged by the election, but no less important.
We’re running out of IP addresses! Not big news there, but just how critical the process is becoming IS big news.

When virtually every piece of electronic equipment is demanding some kind of online connection… which isn’t far off in the future, and in many cases the present, then ipv6 will be a necessity.
As they say necessity is the mother of invention. The inventing bit is already done… most web server technology has it built in. Now is the necessity bit.
I suspect by the time of the olympics ipv6 will be mainstream. Or we’ll all be watching it on 1 b&w tv in the corner of a room! Not.
While most internet users will say IP address? IPvwot? Their understanding of internet protocols is submegred behind the OS or browser url bar, for the electonics & web industries this is a situation that requires immediate attention and resolution.
