[arin-discuss] ipv6 technology supplier phone bank?

[Lee Howard]

see www.google.com/ipv6

I believe the .edus have Internet2 access, which may not be visible from where you sit.

Media companies tend to distribute their content through CDNs, which are a mixed bag; some have declared IPv6 support soon, and some have resisted IPv6.

A significant percentage of networks have said they plan to support IPv6 by end of 2010.  No consumer electronics vendor has said that.  So, while I agree that we need to keep leaning on networks (and the web servers within them), as an industry they're moving in the right direction, unlike the people with boxes in the home.
