Objective
To
make a difference. For me, this is
building the next Internet for my children. In an ever-connected world, IPv6 will
enable continued connectivity to allow them to communicate more and shrink
boundaries, whether it is Facetime with grandparents halfway around the world,
making or watching the latest video on any device, anywhere, anytime, or
enabling new applications that change the way we work, live, shop and play.
