St Thomas, ON | Where is the closer look at IPv6? Where is the "closer look" at IPv6?
I'm glad I don't live in Harrisonburg, where apparently taxpayers have no problem with the way their city hall IT people waste their tax money playing with useless internet technology. | |

 | | | Re: Where is the closer look at IPv6? If you consider the fact that theres not enough IP's for the up and coming electronics/devices in the future with our current standard, IPv4. I would hardly call it a waste of money. It's a great step into future. it's going to happen sooner or later, and IPv6 will be the new standard. | |

Given the effectiveness of NAT, this is pretty overblown. I'll be surprised to see IPv6 adopted any time soon. I think H'burg is jumping the gun on this. | |

| | | Their is no tax payer money used on the IPv6 project.
It is completly funded by the Wireless franchise holder and their investors | |
|
| | not waste of money with the release of DOC 3.0 all cable providers will be switching too IPv6 at the same time they upgrade to DOC3.0 so it will happen pretty soon within the next 2-3 years. So its in no way a waste of money.... | |

Mullica Hill, NJ | Re: not waste of money cable providers want IPv6 because NAT doesnt work which means the customer has no choice but to buy multiple IPs.

| | 3 yrs now and nothing Hey everyone,
My problem is that this project is going on 3yrs old and there is nothing to show. Maybe they city should give the franchise to another company. It tech idea is good, but the wireless ipv6 network and the reports are just fluff. The city needs to reissue this thing. Just do a google search for all the news stories about this thing over the last few years. The whole project was going to be done last summer, then december of last year. Hype.

| | here's what's happening with this... Like JonesHenry, I posed the question: What has actually been done with this?
I live in Harrisonburg, and have written about this topic for the past few months on hburgnews.com and have talked to people closely involved with the project (members of city council, current and former World Airwaves partners, etc)
Like vli1 said, there is no tax money (state, federal, or local) paying for this project. But the more I find out about it, the more I doubt it will ever happen. No one is reporting the facts here, they just keep quoting people who say "Harrisonburg will be first!" over and over again. | |
