Wholesale IPv6: Tunnels for ISPs and Enterprises
Internet Service Providers and major enterprises are caught in a double-bind with IPv6: they are perfectly aware of its necessity, but there's little or no demand to pay for a new service. However, as of February 2011, the IANA pool of free IPv4 blocks was exhausted, and it's only a matter of months before the major Regional Internet Registries are in the same position.Soon customers will be asking their ISPs, what IPv6 options do you offer in your range? And corporate boards will be asking their ICT managers, what are you doing about such a business continuity risk?
It's imperative that you have an IPv6 offering ready and available to slot into your networks - but if you don't have the resources to throw at the problem, what can you do? Use Wholesale6!
