IPv6 -- What's UP?
WIRELESS!
In case you haven't noticed, everybody and their mother, and their grandmother has some form of wireless device, whether it's a cell phone or a pager, or a wireless pda. The needs for address space and security are phenominal.

"It is expected that as mobile phones
gain access to Internet services, there will be
an
unprecedented growth in the demand of
new Internet addresses as well as easier
administration and tighter security.
The world of mobile Internet is a step
closer. IPv6 Forum contribution to the 3GPP work
will
allow the application of global
standards in the next generation Internet domain.
By
committing itself to sharing with the
other 3GPP partners its Internet expertise, IPv6
Forum
will allow the Partners to
integrate mobile Internet access and lead the way to Third
Generation
Mobile Communication.
3GPP warmly welcomes IPv6 Forum. ,
remarked Mr Rosenbrock. This
partnership
agreement will allow faster
integration of the Internet in the 3GPP. As the new
economy
moves to "all-IP", the common
3GPP and IPv6 standards will further enhance
the
business-to-business and
business-to-consumer applications using 3GPP and IPv6
based
mobile communications
systems."
