2
Current Drivers (NA)

1. general concern for future address space
2. potential explosion of internet enabled. Mobile
   phones requiring address space
3. government mandates in the US,Europe, japan,
   china to implement v6
4. increasing numbers of internet-enabled
   appliances. That is also a driver in the next 5
   to 10 years.
5. future potential of broadband over power lines
   with many electrical appliances online through
   the power wiring in buildings.

Current Business Drivers (NA)

1. WiMax
2. Mobile PDA/hand-held/devices
3. VoIP

4
Business Drivers (NA)

1. Content Distribution Systems Leverage
   multicast,home agent services
2. Communities of Interest/Product Tethering
3. VoIP Simple, follow-me anywhere communications
   that eliminate the NAT
4. Sensor networks Utilized in home appliances for
   things like energy control, security monitoring,
   device control, utility monitoring
5. Management Home networks will be more
   complicated, too much so for normal users to
   manage themselves. Management services from the
   access providers will be a potential business
   opportunity.

Business Drivers (LA)

1. Logistic and E2E Supply Chain
2. Internet access in large scale provided by
   Digital TV System
3. E-Banking with E2E Security
4. Multicast VoIP Conference
5. Ecosystems sensors and Transit Traffic Control

6
Current Business Drivers (LA)

1. Research and Develop projects and networks.
2. VoIP (just beginning)
3. IPv6 Tours
4. Policy changes and no charge for IPv6 allocations

7
Current Business Drivers (EU)

1. New Defense communication systems based on the
   Network Centric Warfare concept.
2. Mobility and vertical handover (roaming between
   different access technologies). Example of the
   KDDI trials in Japan. WiBro deployment in Korea.
3. Academic networks with deployments in
   Universities and schools. All backbones are more
   or less IPv6 ready at state level. On going
   integration on regional level and in university
   networks.

8
Current/Future Business Drivers (EU)

1. The need for address space
2. The ubiquitous/pervasive explosion of mobile
   devices
3. The proliferation of p2p style services
   (including VoIP)
4. The need for security, especially in a p2p
   service-oriented world
5. Public-sector policy, particularly here in Europe

9
Current Business Drivers (Asia)

1. VoIP on handheld devices.
2. Mobility Environment (NEMO, Mobile IP, ...etc)
   for handheld devices.
3. Multihoming Multicast
4. Transition
5. All kinds of ALG

10
Business Drivers (Asia)

1. WiMax
2. Facility/Building sensor network that will lead
   energy saving with lighting/air conditioning
   contorol and security with camera/human
   sensor/tracing RF-ID/WiFi node positioning.

11
Future Business Drivers (NA)

1. Apple's H2 video format
2. Auto industry morph more into technology
   companies
3. digital mental telepathy
4. Cyber sex and online gaming
5. social networking sites

12
Future Business Drivers (LA)

1. Wireless networks (maybe MIPv6 ? and 3G ?,
   WiMax, etc.)
2. ADSLv6, PLC, etc.
3. Research and home networks.
4. Online games, etc.

13
Future Business Drivers (EU)

1. Transportation systems. Routers in trains, cars,
   trucks.... Large RD project in Europe to deploy
   emergency services.
2. Home networks with development of e-services
   e-care (aging population), e-security
   (monitoring), personal contents, energy control
   systems...
3. City/Regional/National/International distributed
   systems (heating, energy, environment control,
   security...). Use of fixed addresses to ease the
   system deployment and management.
4. Industrial command control systems
5. Personal devices with ad'hoc network configuration

14
Future Business Drivers (Asia)

1. P2P Streaming Video Application with BT function.
2. uPNP
3. WiMax
4. 802.20
5. Database ALG

15
My IPv6 business drivers

1. Network management pain.
2. Ubiquitous world
