Comment on We're about to hit phase 3 of ARIN IPV4 rationing

Comments

Meanwhile, in Europe, RIPE ran out of IPv4 a year ago[1], and people have been happily implementing IPv6 ever since. In Sweden, there is a government directive[2] that all state infrastructure should implement IPv6 and DNSSEC by this year (2013) at the latest.

Found an english version of the directive (PDF):

Page 40, Actions, first paragraph: “In addition, all authorities should make use of DNSSEC and be reachable with IPv6 by 2013.”

people have been happily implementing IPv6 ever since.

Spoke to my (UK) ISP last week. They said:

"We will support IPv6 when it is in widespread use worldwide. At the moment IPv4 still has a number of fresh IP's."

Sigh.
