The US Government has been accused by the IT industry of not doing enough to promote the use of IPv6. In the US IPv6 Summit 2004, Mr Alex Lightman, the Chairman of the 4G Society, gave these words to the Government :
1. If there is no federal mandate for IPv6, the US cannot lead in IPv6 compared to countries that do have or soon will have national mandates with sufficient funding.
2. China, Japan, Korea, India, and the European Union are eager to compete with the US and have trade surpluses with the US to fund their transitions.
3. If the US does not lead in IPv6, the US cannot lead in the Internet.
4. If the US does not lead in the Internet, it cannot lead in Information Technology
5. If the US does not lead in Information Technology, it cannot lead in high technology.
6. If the US does not lead in high technology, it will be difficult to lead the world in anything except for deficits.
7. We will lose opportunities in satellites, automotive, energy, toys, apparel, food, 4G wireless, and a broadbandenable service export boom.
8. If the US does not lead in anything but deficits, its economy will shrink even as its population increases.
