Abstract: World IPv6 Launch - This time it's for real.

Major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services by 6 June 2012.

Organized by the Internet Society, and building on the successful one-day World IPv6 Day event held on 8 June 2011, World IPv6 Launch represents a major commitment to the global deployment of IPv6. 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.

This panel will be a discussion of World IPv6 Launch and will include perspectives from the Internet Society as well as two of the residential access providers who are enabling IPv6 to paricipate in this event."
