Yahoo IPv6 Upgrade Could Shut Out 1M Users

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the trial-by-fire dept.

alphadogg writes "Yahoo is forging ahead with a move to IPv6 on its main Web site by year-end despite worries that up to 1 million Internet users may be unable to access it initially. Yahoo's massive engineering effort to support IPv6 — the long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol — could at first shut out potential www.yahoo.com users due to what the company and others call 'IPv6 brokenness.'"

    Once Yahoo! is only available over IPv6, the internet will have no choice but to upgrade!
