As most of you know, I'm a software guy. I understand networking and hardware its just not as fun for me. The application of Software to solve business problems really allows for both the creative and technical aspects of a team to flourish.
I found this article a particularly important twist on IPv6.

While the implementation of IPv6 within the Federal Government (and industry for that matter) has been a policy driven initiative, true adoption and permeation of IPv6 won't happen until there is a really cool Application that takes full advantage of its features.
Much the same way that email and "static" web pages allowed for the growth of the first interent, IPv6 will require a killer feature to really take off.
I'm betting on the expansion of Mobile based computing platforms and increased Video features. In a recent, and now determined to be fake, IPhone 2.0 feature the world jumped at the thought of having video calls via the cell phone. I think the corporate and general consumer environment is ready for increased video content to be delivered to them in a relevant manner.
This video content can take advantage of the more efficient and effective communication protocol built into IPv6.
