The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce, will hold a workshop on the importance of the adoption and deployment of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6) addresses for industry, the U.S. Government, and the Internet economy.

Recognizing the vital importance of the Internet to U.S. innovation, prosperity, education, and political and cultural life, NTIA has made it a top priority to ensure that the Internet remains open for innovation. For example, NTIA is part of a Department-wide Internet Policy Task Force which is identifying leading public policy and operational challenges in the Internet environment. NTIA, working with other U.S. Government agencies, is evaluating the adoption and deployment of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6) addresses for industry and government. A workshop will be held to discuss industry and U.S. Government perspectives.

Speakers, panelists, and participants are likely to focus on what is being done to encourage utilization of these resources and to facilitate further public discussion on Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) address resource depletion, and the adoption and deployment of IPv6 addresses.
