Hi all,<br>
<br>
Some news and updates. <br>
Sorry for duplicates.<br>

===========================<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
Status of Available IPv4 Address</span><br>
<br>
In the recent Malaysia Network Operators Group (MyNOG), APNIC presented
that, as of <span __postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">Jan 2012,</span>
out of the last /8, 901blocks of /22 have been
allocated. This means that we are left with 78% of the /22 blocks. Japan
and China are the main economies with the most IPv4 address request.<br>
<br>
Seriously, a /22 has 1,000 plus IP addresses which is insufficient to
run a ISP network. Unless you will like to buy IPv4 address at USD4 per
address (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

drive to deploy IPv6 has never
been more urgent. <br>

<br>
The date is <span __postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">fixed on 6 <span

style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">June 2012.</span></span><span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;"></span> On
this day, participants will turn on
IPv6 permanently. This is probably the last major shove from the
industry. <br>
<br>
SGIX is participating (sgix.speedtest.net) , anyone else from Singapore?<br>
