Coordinators of Moonv6 say two more ISPs have committed to the project.
"U.S. ISPs are coming on board with IPv6," says Jim Bound, chairman of the North American IPv6 Task Force and an HP Fellow. "By February, five ISPs will have an IPv6 service for Moonv6. Two more major ISPs will be a part of our network."
Bound declined to identify which ISPs are joining the Moonv6 project. The only ISP that offers commercial IPv6 service in North America is NTT/Verio.
Bound said another sign of growing ISP support for IPv6 is that executives from AT&T, Sprint and NTT will speak at the U.S. IPv6 Summit, which will be held in Washington, D.C., Dec. 8-11.
As U.S. ISPs start supporting IPv6, forward-looking corporate network managers can start testing it.
"Most U.S. enterprises do not have IPv6 testbeds yet," Bound admits. "Starting next year we're going to be reaching out to the automotive industry, electronics, banking and manufacturing."
