Czech government announced IPv4 end date
Dear IPv6 WG members, some of you might already have read this, but I would like to bring it to the attention of our working group: Last week the Czech government approved a resolution, that they will stop providing government services over IPv4 starting on 2032-06-06 [1]. This is point number 14, translated in english with the help of a translator as I don't speak czech ;-) --------------------CUT-------------------- 14. Restarting the introduction of DNSSEC technology and the IPv6 protocol in the state administration, no. 25/24 Submitted by: Minister of Industry and Trade Result of the government meeting: approved . --------------------CUT-------------------- There is also some more information in blog articles of nic.cz [2] [3]. The end of IPv4 is near [4] (tm). A link to the details of the resolution (in czech) is also on that page. I hope that this announcement of the Czech government will speed up the IPv6 adoption. Ok, it's still 8 years until 2032, but there are also a lot of companies out there who did not even think about implementing IPv6 yet. What is your opinion about this?

there is already a thread on this on the AP WG list. Daniel Suchy's assessment caught my eye; please see his post below.

thanks for pointing to the AP WG list. I didn't notice that thread before your post.

Yes, there also have been other governments with promises in 2010 to start rolling out IPv6. If you take a look at the progress today it is still not there where I personally would have expected it 14 years after the announcement ;-) When someone decides to do something there can always happen things that ruin the entire plan. I think most of us already had some technical issues when rolling out IPv6 and thought "Am I the first person who is using this feature?!". Let's hope the announcement will make at least some progress anywhere. And if that announcement only leads to more IPv6 activities somewhere else that also helps! Chris
Cheers,
-C.
