Support for IPv6



I am a keen supporter for IPv6. Sadly, from time to time, I still hear people saying that there is no need to go for IPv6. These people include telecommunications experts in the ITU.

In the past decade, we all witness how the Internet change the way we do business and the way we live. Internet has bceome an important part of our human civilization. What we need now is a robust, reliable and efficient information foundation. Think it this way, the foundation of a building (brick and steel) determines how high a building can be built. The information foundation (networks) will determine how far our future civilization can reach. If we do not build a good information foundation now, our next generation will defintely suffer.

I notice this slogan from Green Peace in promoting environmental protection:

"只顧現在,那有將來。"

The slogan could equally be used to promote the implementation of IPv6.
