In order to promote IPv6 applications, elevate IPv6 technology development and cultivate future uses for IPv6, TWNIC has developed plans to achieve its goal of providing “IP addresses for everyone and network connection for everything”; for example, they have developed plans to assist local ISPs in providing commercial IPv6 services and establishing exchange centers, to use IPv6 to build its on-line aquarium that allows users to observe penguins and coral right at home, and to adapt IPv6 to use in its provision of on-line meteorological observation services. Lately, TWNIC also conducts multiple training courses allowing more people in Taiwan to become familar with IPv6. TWNIC’s Contributions to IPv6 Promotion in Taiwan To promote IPv6’s further use, TWNIC has been searching for cooperators to use IPv6 in every aspect of daily life, such as housing, transportation, education and entertainment. Recently, the most high profile project has been installing the first IPv6-enabled intelligent residences, which was applied by Farglory Realty Corporation and Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. The press conference of the intelligent residences was launched in March and the report is as follows. The First IPv6-enabled Intelligent Residences in Taiwan At the press conference on March 14th, Farglory Realty Corp. announced that it plans to build the first IPv6-enabled intelligent residences in Taiwan. This represents an unprecedented technology breakthrough for Taiwan,as Japan is the only other nation with significant IPv6 market penetration. This project will help alleviate the problem incorporate IPv6, the latest second-generation network technology, into residential buildings in order to help with solving the future problems of insufficient IP addresses. At the press conference, Farglory Realty delivered its official introduction of IPv6 along with its intelligent residence projects. This would allow for a combination of IPv4 and IPv6 in its 11 projects, including “Future U-Home”, “Ive League Residence”, and “Farglory Yilang Residence”. The “Future U-Home” project will be the first to be completed in 2008 and will accommodate more than 4,800 households while providing them with over one million fixed network addresses. These projects will help push Taiwan to the global forefront in usage of IPv6 (the second-generation network) technologies; second only to Japan. The press conference was presided over by Teng-Hsiung Chao, Chairman of Farglory Group, and attended by several distinguished figures, such as Tien-Lai Teng, General Director of Department of Posts and Telecommunications, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Yen-Sung Lee, Executive Vice President of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd., and Feipei Lai, TWNIC Chairman. According to Chairman Lai, thanked for its initiative to join the global trend of IPv6 development in both infrastructure and technology, Taiwan has ensured itself a future of “Internet For Everything,” extending network connections beyond the telecommunication industries to residences, automobiles, national defense, security and other industries. It is hoped that, through the efforts of some far-sighted business, such as Farglory, the promotion of IPv6 in Taiwan will pick up speed, and allow Internet development in Taiwan to elevate from “Internet For Everyone” to “Internet for Everything” in the near future. 1 Summer Newsletter HOME INDEX “IPv6 Happy Go”: Charity Activity of TWNIC To familiarize people in Taiwan with IPv6 and its uses in daily life, TWNIC held an exhibition called “IPv6 Applications in Future Life” in the special exhibition area on the 3rd floor of the west wing of the National Taiwan Science 戊子年 Education Center in Taipei City in 2008.

These children were students from fourth to sixth grades in Gingping Elementary School, Jiashih Township, Hsinchu County. From this exhibition, they learned about the convenience IPv6 can bring to every aspect of life, including food, medicine, residence, transportation, learning, and entertainment. Throughout the “IPv6 Happy Go” activity, the young participants were extremely excited and delighted. This activity helped inspire children to develop more interests in the importance of IPv6 to future life. For all parties concerned, this activity was a huge success in terms of both charity purpose and educational meaning.
