LACNIC's IPv6 Program Aimed at Increasing Protocol's Adoption in Latin America, Caribbean

Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry’s (LACNIC) Doctor IPv6 program aims to spread awareness and adoption of the IPv6 transition within Latin American and Caribbean nations, said LACNIC Research and Development Director Alejandro Acosta in an ICANN Q&A. The Doctor IPv6 program answers community members’ questions about IPv6 via a podcast, Acosta said. Internet penetration in Latin America and the Caribbean is 50-55 percent, so the “right way to reach the other 45-50% is to do it with IPv6,” Acosta said: ISPs "that do not implement IPv6 are in danger of losing customers. Countries that do not implement IPv6 are in risk of getting isolated.”
