Representatives of 42 member states in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) issued a declaration in which they expressed their support for the next-generation internet protocol. At its Ministerial Meeting on the Future of the Internet Economy, held in Seoul, Korea, on Wednesday, the organisation said the switch to the new version of IP was necessary to connect billions of people to the internet. IPv4 addresses are quickly running out, so the signatories want to have the new version of the internet protocol, IPv6, adopted quickly. In one of the items in the declaration that is more political than technical, they call on governments and private companies that use a large number of IPv4 addresses to lead the switch over.

More than 100 technical experts from English-speaking countries in Africa have gathered in Nairobi for IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) training. The training is geared toward improving the capacity of IT managers in Africa in deployment of IPv6 networks. Kenya will embark on a plan to deploy IPv6 mainly through the national Network Operations Center (NOC) that is currently being setup, said Information and Communication Minister Samuel Poghisio in his keynote address. He added that NOC will support ongoing initiatives to encourage IPv6 deployment.

Increasing demand for Internet based services means that there would not be enough addresses to support this expected growth, if no action is taken. Encouraging internet users and providers to adopt the latest Internet Protocol (IP version 6 or IPv6) will provide a massive increase in address space, much in the same way as telephone numbers were lengthened in the 20th century.

La creciente demanda de servicios de Internet implica que, si no se toman medidas, no habrá direcciones suficientes para respaldar el crecimiento previsto. El fomentar que tanto usuarios como proveedores de Internet adopten el último Protocolo Internet (IP versión 6 o IPv6) resultaría en un enorme aumento del espacio para direcciones, de manera muy parecida a la prolongación de los números de teléfono en el siglo XX.

The European Commission has set a target of getting at least a quarter of EU industry, public authorities and households to switch to IPv6 internet addressing by 2010. A recent report from the OECD had warned that the shortage of older IPv4 internet addressing threatened the rise of mobile internet services. "This is very much a case of a stitch in time saves nine", said Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media. "In the short term, businesses and public authorities might be tempted to try to squeeze their needs into the strait jacket of the old system, but this would mean Europe is badly placed to take advantage of the latest internet technology, and could face a crisis when the old system runs out of addresses."

La Comisión Europea se ha marcado como objetivo que al menos una cuarta parte de la industria de la UE, autoridades publicas y viviendas, cambien a IPv6 antes del 2010. Un reciente documento de la OECD había advertido del agotamiento de las direcciones IPv4, como amenaza para el incremento de los servicios móviles de Internet. "Este es muy bien el tipico caso de que una puntada a tiempo ahorra nueve", indico Viviane Reding, Comisaria Europea para la Sociedad de la Información y Media. "En el corto plazo, los negocios y autoridades públicas podrían estar tentadas para apretujar sus necesidades en la camisa de fuerza del viejo sistema, pero esto implicaria que Europa estaría mal situada para sacar provecho de la última tecnología de Internet, y podría enfrentarse a una crisis cuando el viejo sistema se quede sin direcciones."

Businesses alone are not doing enough to avert an impending shortage of Internet Protocol addresses, and governments must work with them to secure the future of the Internet economy, according to a report published Thursday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The number of IP addresses, needed for Web sites, servers and PCs to communicate with one another over the Internet, is limited, and almost 85 percent of addresses are now in use. At the current rate of growth, the pool of available addresses will be exhausted by 2011.

Los negocios por si solos no estan haciendo lo suficiente para evitar el agotamiento de las direcciones del protocolo de Internet, y los gobiernos deben trabajar con ellos para asegurar el futuro de la economía de Internet, según un informe publicado el Jueves por la Organización para la Cooperación Económica y el Desarrollo. El número de direcciones IP, necesarias para que los sitios Web, servidores y PC's puedan comunicarse entre sí a traves de Internet, es limitado, y casi el 85% de las direcciones ya estan usadas. Con el ritmo actual de crecimiento, las direcciones restantes se agotarán en el 2011.

Twenty-five per cent of all European users should have the opportunity to use IPv6 by the end of 2010, and should be able to access most of their normal services and content with it. The EU Commission will set this goal in a statement, to be published at the end of May, on the new internet protocol and progress in the net. Detlef Eckert of the General Directorate for Information Society and Media presented the key points of the statement and a related action plan at the RIPE meeting in Berlin. The Commission is joining organisations like the Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE) in calling for rapid action in the face of dwindling reserves of IP addresses.
