Switzerland Tops IPv6 Adoption Charts; US Lags At 4th

Posted by timothy on from the this-isn't-actually-a-race-you-realize dept.

hypnosec writes "According to recent statistics, Switzerland has topped the IPv6 adoption charts by leapfrogging Romania, which led the charts for nearly a year. According to Google, Switzerland's adoption stands at 10.11 percent — the highest for any country. Romania, on the other hand, has an adoption rate of 9.02 percent, followed by France at 5.08 percent. Switzerland took the top position near the end of May and the primary reason seems to be Swisscom and its drive to adopt the next IP version. The U.S. stands at fourth place with just 2.76 percent adoption."

    Just because Swiss population in a few millions, probably smaller than a regular city in the United States.

  2. Fourth? Awesome! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The U.S. isn't much of a leader anymore.

    Our rankings in quality of health care, percentage of population in prisons, upward mobility, broadband, children in poverty, military spending, are embarrassing for a developed nation.

    Fourth place is probably something we should celebrate, considering.
