· Mark Bayliss: CEO VisualLink ISP, WorldAirwaves, CobaltRacks
· The Honorable Tom Davis, Congressman of Virginia (invited)
· Mr. Latif Ladid: President, World IPv6 Forum
· Joel Coulter: President, Coulter & AssociatesToday’s Internet is not an endless frontier. IPv6 is the next evolution, offering significantly improved security and interaction with mobile devices.
This time, America may not be the leading nation.
The current structure of IPv4 gives a limited number of addresses. Many years ago a new internet protocol IPv6 was developed to address U.S. and international needs for a rapidly shrinking pool of internet address spaces due to the explosion of devices with IP addresses and the explosive internet communications growth in Asia, India, Europe and Australia. IPv6 offers significantly more IP addresses, greater security, easier multicasting, interactivity with mobile devices, and the ability for new kinds of applications, including surveillance.
Due to other priorities however and the U.S. comfort with its current IPv4 internet, the U.S. Government and businesses other than DOD and those who serve the DOD and Microsoft has to date, not taken up the leadership role for the next generation internet IPv6. This absence of leadership/investment has led to Japan, Korea and most recently China investing over 850M in IPv6 and they have done a great job to date in advancing IPv6 progress.
Join the World Future Society as this panel of world experts discusses the possibilities of the next generation Internet, which nations will show leadership, and the implications for economies as well as societies.
