7. Internet challenges in the Pacific
• Geography and distance
• High bandwidth costs
• Low penetration
• Lack of competition
• Critical mass
• Human capacity building
• What about IPv6?
8. Why are we waiting…?
Some frequent answers…
• We have more IPv4 addresses than we need
• We have more IPv4 addresses than people!
• Our content is offshore, in the cloud, etc.
• IPv4 works well enough
• OK, but things are changing…

10. Drivers: Network Access
• Without IPv6 (IPv4 only)
– New deployments must use NAT (eg mobile)
– Carrier Grade NAT is expensive
– Increasing costs: x users x bandwidth
• With IPv6 (dual stack)
– Addresses for every device
– Offload traffic from NATs
– Competitive advantage
– IPv4 is eventually irrelevant, no more NAT
– LTE can use IPv6 immediately
– Also: “Internet of Things”
11. Drivers: Content and Services
• Without IPv6 (IPv4 only)
– Degrading customer/client experience
– Mobile users at particular disadvantage (all NAT)
• With IPv6 (dual stack)
– Direct connection to all customers
– Best performance for all
– Better user experience, competitive advantage (esp mobile)
• Offshore / hosted / cloud
– Same situation applies
• Onshore
– Beware tunneled IPv6 connectivity (over IPv4)

What are the challenges to leveraging the digital economy for development in the Pacific?
--- Need to work together to overcome these challenges, but what does it look like from our corner of the logical layer of the Internet? --- (transition
Deployed netoworts have a lot of addresses, relatively.
8 economies have more than 1 address per internet user, most have many more than the average in many other parts of the world.
However remember that penetrtion rates are low, so in terms of population, just a few very small countries have more addresses than people.
All you need is a significant rollout of network infrastrcutuce, and all available public addresses will be consumed.
And remember that these allocations are not to countries but to existing networks; so if you want to bring in new players, then thay will have few IPv4 addresses.
We are looking to collaborate throughout the Pacific and are eager to hear from partners who want to help make the Internet a more global, open, stable, and secure platform to boost Pacific and regional economic growth.
Invitation to take part in APNIC 40
In Indonesia we will be we are launching the Cooperation-SIG as a new forum for governments to plug into the discussion, and we encourage the participation of the Pacific.
