[asterisk-users] RE: OT (a little): IPV6 Ramifications Article

[Dean Collins]

Hi guys,

I know it's a little off topic but......Wondering if you can help.

 

My wife has been asked to find a writer to produce a story on "The
dramatic ramifications of IPV6 on commercial businesses and how it will
change the product designs for ordinary household/commercial use in a
5-10 year time frame"

 

So her company hired someone who should have been able to deliver the
goods (ex magazine editor - maybe a little too 'ex'....)

 

He has come back with the story angle that is boring (and just plain
wrong) that says; 

 

-          IPV6 is a big cost to companies like the Y2k bug was.

-          That it will stop spam (hmmm Cringley you have a lot to
answer for)

-          That Asia is leading the way but we can ignore it as the USA
have many many IPV4 addresses to use for the future.

 

 

So now my wife has egg on her face and her boss thinks that IPV6 is of
no interest to anyone in their customers companies, apart from the CIO
who needs to implement it, when I'm telling her that there are dramatic
applications; eg.

 

-          That Ford needs to consider how your car having an IP
addresses changes the way they should be building cars (oh and the
streetlights have one as well).

-          That Sharp needs to consider what your TV having an IP
address means (and your set top box and your front door bell as well)

-          That Verizon needs to consider what every mobile phone having
an IP address means (and your desk phone and your office phone)

-          That Chase needs to consider what IPV6 means to your wallet,
the ATM and the POS cash registers.

 

Can anyone help with some url's for some really good articles on 'super
networking' and related applications that dramatically change the
products that companies should be manufacturing today? (also the less
technical the better)

 

Or if you are a writer who has published something on this exact topic
that has been run at a national print level......want a gig?

 

Regards,

Dean Collins
