Why are governments on IPv6?

Network providers with a growing customer base are forced to use the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) to get new customers connected. Connecting ever more networked machines to the Internet ("Internet of things") requires a huge number of additional IP addresses. Leading content providers in the Internet world such as Facebook and Google are already running on the new version of IPv6. Some governments have already followed their success story, too. Not supporting IPv6 can cause connection problems and information lack on a web site to visitors connecting from an IPv6-enabled network. If public and private sector will introduce IPv6 in their policies, nobody will be excluded in future from the benefits of the information society. When implementing IPv6, one has to remember to "think globally and act locally". No citizen must be withdrawn from the convenience of an ever improving information society.
