QUESTION POSED ON: 25 April 2007
Which is the largest company presently laying the new fiber optic cable for IPv6?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
IPv6 does not require fiber optic cable; it is a choice. I am not aware of a case where they do so. The largest company I know rolling out IPv6 right now is the Bechtel Group headquartered in San Francisco. However, I do not know details about their infrastructure.
