[UK]Sign this ePetition about Unused IP Addresses


Recommended Posts

How about instead of a petition aiming to prolong the life of the dieing IPv4 standard that little bit longer, we instead petition the government to force ISP's like Sky to get off their collective arses are begin to support IPv6, or at least begin to future proof by providing routers capable of IPv6.

It's the scarcity of IPv4 addresses that is going to incentivise the migration to IPv6... the greedy corporations will not do this unless they are forced to. Putting nearly 17m IPv4 addresses back into the wild will just give them another excuse for not getting their arses in gear. Besides, I think it's quite nice that the UK are sitting on a nice stock pile of IPs that can be held in reserve for important things.
