AT&T, Global Crossing Looking to Aid U.S. Government IPv6 Transition

Michael Hardy writes on FCW.com:

AT&T and Global Crossing have created a peering arrangement, establishing interconnections between their networks with an eye toward capitalizing on federal mandates regarding the next-generation Internet protocol.

Agencies have until June 2008 to upgrade their network backbones to IP Version 6, which will support a vast increase in the number of unique IP addresses available and bring other advances over the current IPv4 as well.
