(MyHostNews.com) The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced that Stan O. Barber, vice president, network operations, will deliver an address at the 30th annual Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) “Telecom with Vision” tradeshow.  Barber’s remarks, scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 15, at 8:30 a.m. HST, will include a discussion about the emerging adoption of IPv6, and the barriers to entry over the IPv4 standard.

Scheduled for Jan. 15-18, the conference will be held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa in Honolulu.  The conference agenda covers issues related to emerging changes and strategic business drivers that affect today’s telecommunications industry.

“As customers demand additional functionality, we will begin to see broader adoption of IPv6,” said Barber.  “There are no significantly large companies driving adoption, so we face a chicken-and-egg scenario that has plagued widespread deployment.  While anyone can connect to IPv6 today using a tunnel broker, it is difficult to use such connections when driving traffic of any significant bandwidth.  Having providers deliver IPv6 natively removes this bandwidth barrier and makes it possible for Web sites, as an example, to deliver the same content with the same experience over IPv6 and IPv4.”
