Federal Agencies Must Use IPv6 by 2008
MoiTominator writes "The White House Office of Management and Budget announced on Wednesday that all federal agencies must deploy IPv6 by June 2008. So far, Defense is the only agency which has made any progress toward implementing the new protocol." From the article: "While we know that IPv6 technologies are deployed throughout the government we do not know specifically which ones, how many there are, or precisely where they are located...For cost, the agencies must report on estimates for planning, infrastructure acquisition, training and risk mitigation."
Another choice quote: Microsoft's next operating system, dubbed Longhorn, will be "fully IPv6-capable," Khaki said. That should really be: Microsoft's next operating system, dubbed Longhorn, will be "fully IPv6-capable, unless that gets dropped too..." Khaki said.
What other industry is so stupid as to work for free?
Mothers and housewives?
So what you're telling me is, that what is needed here is for some articles to be written and a few people to go on news shows and say how life as we know it will cease to exist, that the Y2K/\/\IPv4 bug will eat us alive. We'll be back in the stone age because our Computer/TV/Radio/can opener with embedded chips/\/\/I mean IPv4 addresses can't possibly function.
WTF? Over?
..Just declare it part of the metric system. Or is that the other way round?
Don't trust anyone under thirty.
Looks like they're finally gonna have to upgrade all those Windows 95 computers.
