News from Korea

• Korea began commercialized LTE service based on IPv6– 25th Sept 2014– http://www.whowired.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=404401– SK Telecom launched IPv6 enabled commercial LTE services

based on IPv6– Multi-stakeholder approach among the network operator, local

major content providers, equipment manufacturers supported by KISA KRNIC

28

Observation

• IPv6 deployment is increasing steadily– But varies among regions, economies, and individual ASNs– Not happening simultaneously– Some economies and ASNs have been very active in terms of IPv6

deployment• Particularly some mobile network operators and cable TV operators• Once they enable IPv6 in their network and handsets, their end user

readiness grows VERY rapidly

Mobile networks

• The business competency of mobile network operators:– Shifting from being a traditional voice and messaging provider to a

mobile broadband service provider– Services on voice, messaging and data are converging on IP based

services– Rapidly increasing LTE deployment in the region

• Decision makers’ (mobile network operators) view– Ready to move to Voice over LTE?– Mobile cloud computing on top of the LTE network?– What are key building blocks for all-IP strategy?

Input from industry

• What are other operators doing?– Story form Australia– Sunny Yeung, Telstra Australia– “IPv6 Adoption Strategies”

Conclusion

APEC TEL IPv6 Guidelines2010

• Scope of the document– Lead the industry by example in adopting IPv6

• Ensuring governments’ online presence via IPv4+IPv6• New procurement requirements with IPv6

– Be ready with transition – do not buy legacy equipment!– Partnership between governments and industry

• Periodic information exchange and collaboration

– Human capacity development• Enhance IPv6 skills of technical staff• IPv6 training programs to be shared

– International and cross-agency cooperation • Sharing information on IPv6 Best Current Practice• Avoid duplicating efforts IPv6 implementation

33

Governments’ support

• IPv6 awareness among governments’ in the AP region is very high– Many initiatives from governments has been implemented

• Partnership between the public and private sectors in various forms• Developing national policies and guidelines and roadmaps to enable IPv6 • Enabling IPv6 in government networks • Mandating for IPv6 readiness in government procurement for ICT goods and services• Raising IPv6 awareness among key people in the government and industry• Providing timely skill up training • Monitoring IPv6 deployment measurement and share information with industry• Include the necessity of IPv6 deployment in ministerial statements

• Continuous engagement with industry will help– Adding IPv6 criteria in universal accessibility projects

• Discussed at APEC TEL47 DSG Meeting

– Adding IPv6 criteria in 3G+, 4G LTE network deployment?
