In this video Patrick Fälström, advisor to the Swedish
government, explains the various models by which governments can
encourage adoption ofInternet Protocol Version 6. These include changes to
legislation, subsidies and statements, as well as acting as a
procurer of IPv6-compatible technology.
Fälström emphasises that, "As a provider of services, it is very
important for the government that anyone can access their services,
just like any private company is interested in having as many
customers as possible. For example, the Swedish government has
explicitly said that its goal is that anyone should be able to
access any service from anywhere."
