[Note:  'Unlimited Web Sites', eh?  An interesting spin on the  
capabilities of IPv6.  DLH]

NEW TECHNOLOGY HERALDS UNLIMITED WEB SITES -- ICANN

Vinton Cerf of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) said the next-generation protocol, IPv6, had been added to its  
root
server systems, making it possible for every person or device to have an
Internet protocol address. Cerf said about two-thirds of the 4.3 billion
Internet addresses currently available were used up, adding that IPv6  
could
magnify capacity by some "25,000 trillion trillion times." [For my  
fellow
English Lit majors, he means "a whole big bunch."
