In the United States, the technology will probably be adopted at a much slower pace. But commercial adoption could be accelerated by the U.S. Department of Defense. In June 2003, it set a mandate that all defense agencies be IPv6-ready by 2008. The agency has helped develop the Moonv6 network, which serves as a test bed for service providers and equipment makers testing IPv6 technology. Experts agree that IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist for many years. "This is really the first step forward in making IPv6 a useful protocol," Howard said. "A full conversion to IPv6 is still several years away. We won't likely even start to see widespread adoption until 2008 or 2010.".

International body in charge of doling out IP addresses is set to give out new IPv6 addresses, At a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this week, ICANN, which is in charge of allocating IP addresses, said that it has added the latest version of Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) to the Internet's Domain Name Servers (DNS) root server system, IP addresses direct information packets across the Internet to the correct servers, The current IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (usually represented, for instance, as 123.45.67.89), and eventually there won't be enough to meet demand, IPv6 uses longer 128-bit addresses--thus providing more possible addresses, Until ICANN's root DNS servers can understand those longer addresses, they can't locate them, DNS servers, deployed be powerful iphone case throughout the Internet, keep track of IP addresses and domain names, Now businesses and individuals who want to sign up for an IPv6 service will be able to communicate with people using IPv4 addresses..

Quick Take: Armed with basic features and a minimalist design, the Nokia 6010 is for T-Mobile customers who want nothing more out of their cell phone than the ability to make calls and to send and receive text messages. Cast in the typical Nokia candy bar style, the handset sports a silver finish and a 4,096-color screen. And though it's an upgrade of the Nokia 3595 in terms of features, the 6010 fortunately abandons its predecessor's oddly styled keypad in favor of a more standard layout. In addition to the 600-name phone book, there's a calendar, a to-do list, an alarm clock, text and multimedia messaging, AOL instant messaging, voice dialing, and a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser. The 6010 is only a dual-band (GSM 850/1900) model, but it also supports GPRS data speeds. As for personalization options, you can choose from a variety of wallpaper, color schemes, and polyphonic ring tones, with more available for download, or you can select an Xpress-on changeable cover (sold separately for $19.95 each). At $99, the handset is fairly priced, but you should be able to find it free with a new service contract.
