As the successor to the current Internet Protocol, IPv4, IPv6 is critical to the Internet's continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic development. Speakers from Asia Pacific and China will share their real experience on World IPv6 Day last year and deployment case studies. Don't miss it!

政府業界攜手牽頭　 IPv6 蓄勢待發 ( 資本壹週 )
Apr 20, 2012

- 保持在地區以至全球的競爭優勢，本港各界，從政府到小市民， 大企業到中小企，都應該立即了解相關的技術， 並就網絡的順利過渡作好準備。
-「啟動 IPv6 計畫」旨在協助公眾及中小企更加了解 IPv4 地址耗盡的情況， 並提升他們對 IPv6 之認識。

現時每個桌上及流動網絡裝置都是透過一個獨一無二的 IP 地址， 以存取網絡上的資訊。目前互聯網主要使用 IPv4 互聯網規約作為 IP 地址編制。然而，智能裝置的普及與流動上網的覆蓋增長， 均使互聯網的使用量與日俱增。由於 IPv4 僅能提供有限數量的互 聯網地址，根據號碼資源組織於 2011 年 2 月指出，全球最後一批 IPv4 地址已經被分配。換而言之， IPv4 地址已經正式耗盡。 Read More

"IPv6 Keeps the Internet Growing" Seminar
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) was the main method by which IP addresses were assigned on the Internet. However, the Internet has become completely saturated thanks to its explosive growth and the sheer number of devices needing to access it. IPv4 provides only a limited number of IP addresses (about 4.3 billion) but IPv6 can accommodate virtually unlimited IPs.

Find out more about:
- The current state of the Internet and the issue of IPv4 exhaustion
- What is IPv6 and is it the only solution?
- What are the benefits of IPv6?
- What cool new innovations are being introduced with IPv6?
- How to be IPv6 ready? What to do if you don't have IPv6 now?

Date: April 15, 2012 (Sun)
Time: 3:00 - 4:00pm
Venue: Seminar Room, Halls 3F-G, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, 1 Expo Drive, Wan Chai, Hong Kong (Harbour Road Entrance)

NEWS INDEPTH: Internet upgrade 'critical' (EJ Insight)
Apr 9, 2012

Government agencies and corporate enterprises in Hong Kong must strive to create public awareness about the next-generation internet address standard to ensure sustained growth in data traffic in the virtual world, an expert said.

Pointing to the need to migrate to the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) platform, Charles Mok, founding chairman of the Hong Kong chapter of the Internet Society, said an upgrade from the current protocol is critical for continued growth of the internet as IPv4 addresses will be fully allocated by October 2014.

Radio Program Overview: IPv6 has been gaining awareness and stirring concerns among the business environment on the "end of the Internet". The chit-chat session discussed what exactly "IPv4 exhaustion" is and what the government is doing to educate the general public and businesses to take action now to enable IPv6 to ensure the Internet keep expanding.

Key messages discussed:
- The Internet is not going to an end, but it is going to a new chapter.
- IPv6 will provide 3.4 x1038 addresses available to keep the Internet running.
- Asia Pacific is the first to run out of IPv4 addresses.
- The systems and equipment of the Internet need to be upgraded to IPv6-ready, and ISP needs to support and provide IPv6 service.
- Internet Society Hong Kong, with the support of the HKSAR Government, is promoting IPv6 awareness among the general public and SMEs.
- If Internet users are not taking action now, the Internet will stop expanding when IPv4 addresses run out.

The proposal is intended to create stiffer penalties across Europe for hacking and denial of service attacks, imposing a maximum sentence of up to five years for hacking into a site or using a botnet to flood a site with fake traffic. Read More

The Hong Kong Innovative Technology Preferred (HKITP) urged the future Chief Executive of Hong Kong - to be elected by a 1,200 member committee coming Sunday -- to recognize home grown technologies and innovations.

The HKITP issued a public letter to all CE candidates last week, noting that the lack of confidence of local businesses and the government in locally developed technologies has caused startup failures. Read More

Speech by Mr. Victor Lam, Deputy Government Chief Information Officer, at the 'Promoting NGI / IPv6 Development in Education Technical Seminar' - Chinese Only [ 副政府資訊科技總監林偉喬先生於「促進 NGI／IPv6 技術在教育界推行及使用研討會」之致辭全文] ( Office of the Government Chief Information Officer
Mar 9, 2012

目前，香港獲分配的 IPv4 地址有一千一百多萬個，平均每名香港市民可分配到多於一個 IPv4 地址。驟眼看來，這一千一百多萬個 IP 地址好像足夠使用，但細心一想，假如我們將來的家庭電器、公眾地方的照明設施、閉路電視和各類型的感應器等都需要 IP 地址的話，目前 IP 地址的數量便會不敷應用。所以我們認同提高對 IPv6 的認知和鼓勵採用 IPv6 的重要性。為迎合這個發展趨勢，香港特區政府也率先在政府的資訊科技基礎建設和電子服務上逐步採用了 IPv6 。Read More
