Czech government to stop offering services over IPv4 on 6.6.2032

[kdklol]

Allow me to append a short summary in English:

- The Czech government adopted a new directive titled "The restart of DNSSEC and IPv6 enrollment in the government"

- Until yesterday, no administration on the European continent has made such a decisive step as setting a end-of-support date for IPv4

- Selected date is highly symbolic, the 6th of June, 2032, the 20th anniversary of the World IPv6 day

- This decision has already sparked discussion on the RIPE NCC forums

- "It's a signal to all internet players to take IPv6 seriously"

- Nevertheless, the EU itself has already taken even greater leap towards IPv6 adoption

Absolutely hate this ambiguous style of date format. Is it June 6th, or ... uh, wait, nevermind.

Only America has confused that date format!

That's forward looking. By reading httpd log files, I've noticed plucky, Czech-language search engine Seznam also uses IPv6. Interesting developments!

Oh no that is only 8 years from now...Cancelling all activities for next week and getting right on it...

I assume that this means that ipv6 will be supported by 100% of Czech ISPs, but still, Czech citizens are supposed to be able to access Czech government sites even if they are abroad. Many countries don't have much ipv6 adoption yet. Is this even legal?

[jj999]

Odd question. The Czech government is the entity defining what is legal.

By 2032, it's virtually certain IPv6 is going to be the majority protocol. For instance, see Google's numbers:

It's difficult for the Czech population to use cellphones?
