Digital Divide
Google Turns on IPv6
By Sebastian Anthony Feb 2nd 2010 at 8:00AM The chicken and the egg -- you can't have one without the other -- but which one comes first?

The same dilemma plagues every industry, but none as much as the tech sector. Build it and they will come -- but what if they don't come?! You've just wasted millions of dollars -- or billions, in the case of IPv6 infrastructure. But such is life! Someone has to break the ice. Someone has to be the penguin that jumps in first to be eaten by the killer whales -- and in this case, it looks like it's Google with its YouTube service. YouTube is the third most popular website on the Internet -- and no doubt the largest bandwidth hog in the world -- so it's refreshing and more than a little shocking to see IPv6 enabled with nary a whisper from Google. |
