Multicast and InternetNZ By-Election - I stand for promoting mult icast on the Public Network
Remembering our postings on multicast over the several past weeks... I have been motivated to act.. Please excuse my partly OT posting with a multicast bias... Many of you are extremely busy this week with the Conference and it may pass attention of those who are also members of InternetNZ that a By-election is occurring for Secretary and Councillor. Voting closes on the 14th July. I am standing as a Candidate for Councillor on a platform to encourage IP4 multicast peering and service to users of the public Internet in New Zealand. There is significant effort within InternetNZ to encourage NGI and IP6, however, this can not provide immediate public access to multicast services. If elected I will make every effort to encourage implementation of multicast services via public networks. I encourage those of you who are InternetNZ members to review the candidates and cast your vote. Please e-mail off-line or call directly if you want to speak with me on this matter. I enclose links to my bio etc... Best Regards... Michael Sutton http://www.awacs.co.nz http://www.internetnz.co.nz/biographies/bio03-msutton.html http://www.internetnz.co.nz/members/by-elections/030619byelection.html
Are you bating Mr Sutton Joe? :)
I think there is general enthusiasm for IP6, but no real commercial driver to do it. We know it is the future eventually, but as companies there is little obvious benefit in being first. Exactly a good spot for InternetNZ to be working in, promoting and doing the groundwork for future activities of its members and the Internet community. But I expect InternetNZ has little or no direct influence on network operators in this regard, beyond enthusiasm and promoting discussion.
Aaron.
