For consumers I think I would phrase it more as the "next generation internet" and you need IPv6 in order to be able to connect to it and that eventually some sites you want to connect to may not be accessible over the current internet. Something like that.
Ah, it's running Internet-As-A-Service in the Cloud using a Client-Server architecture with time sharing. There's nothing there but buzzwords. First figure out what consumers actually get for it. Only after you know why they want it can you then figure out how to market it. Generally what you're looking for is "good, fast, cheap," only more so than IPv4. Lee
I am going to be real interested to see how the media handles the situation when ARIN runs out of IPv4 addresses. I could really see some big doom and gloom stories hit some of the mainstream media when that occurs. While it isn't the end of the world when ARIN runs out, it is still significant and I personally think that moment is going to be what starts to spur more CIOs to start asking questions about IPv6 and if their organization is ready (and the answer likely being no) -- Brian Hartsfield CCNA, CCDA AIM: kd4aej Twitter: Krandor1 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/brian.hartsfield Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brianhartsfield On Thu, Jun 19, 2014 at 10:02 AM, Lee Howard <Lee () asgard org> wrote:I support a recommendation to consumer retailers to start requiring IPv6 support in the stuff that they sell, but unfortunately I don¹t have very good data on how large of a request that actually is.In my experience, retailers will sell whatever flies off the shelves without regard to whether it¹s good for the consumer or not. As such, I believe it¹s more of a consumer education issue if we want to effect real change in behavior at this point.What would you tell consumers? LeeOwen
