[Anya Chambers]

Dear all

World IPv6 Day continues to gain momentum. The past weeks have seen two more additions to the Test Flight; Verisign, Inc and NYI have joined  the ranks of players from across the Internet industry demonstrating their commitment to a global transition to IPv6. The more websites and infrastructure providers that join, the more effective this large scale test will be.

VeriSign, Inc. the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, has announced that it will enable global IPv6 connectivityits corporate website,www.verisigninc.com, on June 8 and thereafter, so that anyone with IPv6 Internet capabilities will be able to access the site. IPv4 traffic access to the site will be unchanged.

“Verisign is committed to ensuring that the critical Internet infrastructure under our stewardship is fully prepared for rapid, wide-scale IPv6 adoption,” said Danny McPherson, CSO of Verisign. “To this end, we are very pleased to join the many Web companies, Internet Service Providers and enterprises participating in World IPv6 Day to help ensure a successful transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Working together, we can make 2011 an historic year for ensuring the stability, security and growth of the Internet.”

NYI (www.nyi.net), a New York City-based, mission-critical data services provider has also committed to join World IPv6 Day. Committing to IPV6 complicance comes on the heels of NYI’s February announcement of full client support of the new network protocol.

“The Internet Society has done a fantastic job of bringing IPv6 to the forefront,” added Phillip Koblence, VP Operations, NYI. “With World IPv6 Day, they have created a groundswell of attention that no one in technology can ignore. We all owe them a depth of gratitude for what they’ve done and look forward to doing whatever else we can to supporting their mandate.”
