* IANA IPv4 Exhaustion

At a ceremony held on 3 February, 2011 the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated the remaining last five /8s of
IPv4 address space to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in
accordance with the Global Policy for the Allocation of the
Remaining IPv4 Address Space. With this action, the free pool of
available IPv4 addresses is now fully depleted. To read the full

* World IPv6 Day

Facebook, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), websites
with more than one billion combined visits each day, are joining
major content delivery networks Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM) and
Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW), and the Internet Society, for
the first global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol, IPv6.
On June 8, 2011, dubbed World IPv6 Day, participants will enable
IPv6 on their main services for 24 hours.  Cisco, Juniper,
Hurricane Electric, and Bing have also announced their
