IPv6: NZ Gov't will lead by example not by regulation

摘要

The New Zealand Government has impressed on the country's business community the Importance of speedy adoption of IPv6, but says Its role towards achieving this will be confined to awareness raising and leading by example, not by regulation. A New Zealand IPv6 Steering Group, convened by the Ministry of Economic Development last week staged a 'Hui' (conference) to on IPv6. Addressing the conference, acting minister for communications and information technology, Nathan Guy, said: "The rationale for these Hui is to convince you as key business decision-makers that there is a business case to be made for IPv6 adoption...We need to have IPv6 widely adopted if we are to be able to take full advantage of the mobile Internet and of the 'Internet of things' involving such things as intelligent houses and intelligent transport systems. A key driver for IPv6 is to make possible new services and business opportunities on a large scale, such as networked sensors for industrial or home automation services."
