That was then: American politicians campaigning on the slogan, “A chicken in every pot,” during the pre-World War II era. This is now: the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers promising an Internet address in every human’s hands, just about.
That’s what the body which governs global Website allocation has said would be possible with the new version of Internet protocol IPv6, according to a statement ICANN released during its six-day annual conference.
“This next-generation version… provides trillions more addresses than the Ipv5 system that is in use by most networks today,” ICANN said. “By taking this significant step forward in the transition to Ipv6, [we are] supporting the innovations through which the Internet evolves to meet the growing needs of a global economy.”
