IPv6 push doesn't have much pull in U.S
Mike DeMaria (Network Computing) writes in EE Times:
Federal agencies and Congress are pushing for it. The major economic forces in Asia and the Pacific Rim are mandating it. And in the last month or so, the IT industry has seen more stumping for IPv6 adoption than we saw in the previous decade of the protocol's existence. But will all this hoopla speed the near-term implementation of IPv6 in the United States? Probably not.
In recent years, China, India, Japan and South Korea all have advanced plans for making IPv6 their national standard, and they've set aside substantial budgets to do it. The attitude isn't surprising--these countries are most in need of the additional addresses IPv6 provides. With the money and the incentive behind them, these Asian nations are likely to deploy the next-generation IP before most organizations in the United States do.
