I have just read the article on the BBC news website about IPv6 and I am wondering what are eUKHosts plans to provide IPv6 network addresses?

As far as I know - eUKhost will hopefully try to make full good use of IPv4 before handing out IPv6 addresses. After all; eUKhost have over 65000 IPv4's.

That volume is impressive, but obviously at some point the migration will have to be made.

Well, I presume IPv4 will work in conjunction with IPv6 and will gradually be phased out as old hardware is replaced...
