DigiClub Podcast Ep149 : Point de vue de l’Afrinic à propos du retard de l’IPv6 en Afrique

Recently, the DigiClub Podcast featured an interview with the Afrinic organization regarding the delayed adoption of IPv6 in Africa.

During the podcast, the representatives from Afrinic expressed concerns about the slow progress of IPv6 implementation in the region. They highlighted the importance of IPv6 and the need for African countries to start embracing this technology for the future of the internet.

According to Afrinic, the main reasons for the delay in IPv6 adoption in Africa are the lack of awareness and understanding of the benefits of IPv6, as well as the cost and complexity of transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6. They emphasized the need for education and support for organizations and individuals to make the transition smoother.

The podcast also discussed the efforts Afrinic is making to promote IPv6 adoption in Africa, including training programs, workshops, and technical assistance for network operators. They also stressed the importance of policy development and collaboration with governments and internet service providers to facilitate the migration to IPv6.

It is clear that the transition to IPv6 is crucial for the future of internet connectivity in Africa, and the insights shared by Afrinic in the DigiClub Podcast shed light on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Listeners were encouraged to educate themselves about IPv6 and take steps to incorporate it into their networks and services. The podcast ended with a call to action for stakeholders to work together towards a more IPv6-enabled Africa.
