27. 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
27

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

30. 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?

32. Conclusion

33. APEC TEL IPv6 Guidelines
2010
• 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

34. 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?
