Almost half of the Middle East’s online consumers (43 percent) plan to use a mobile phone to access the Internet while 29 percent intend to use a handheld multimedia device and 24 percent plan to access the net via an in-home video game system. If providers do not become IPv6, the impact to businesses in that part of the world will be immense.

“Lastly, don’t see IPv6 as a reason to throw the baby out with the bath water, build your IPv6 planning into your product lifecycle replacement plan. Remember, you don’t need to replace everything today; you do need to start to act and build today. And it sounds obvious, but don’t buy anything that isn’t compatible with IPv6 moving forward – no matter what the sales guy says.”
