Federal Agencies Must Use IPv6 by 2008

Posted by Zonk on Friday July 1, 2005 @10:34PM from the quick-turn-over dept.

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."

For maybe the 3rd time in 4+ years, I've seen an article about something the Bush Administration planned to do and thought "Hey! Thats a good idea!"
