2005 Updates Government to
be IPv6 compliant by 2008 The government aims to have all its facilities IPv6 compliant by 2008. This was announced by Halim Shafie, Director General of the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications at Universiti Sains Malaysia after he had launched the National Advanced v6 Centre of Excellence (NAv6) located on the Penang campus of the university. NAv6 has been selected by the government to lead R&D and training in the next generation Internet protocol. The center began operating on 1 March 2005. Halim also told the press that the government has established the National IPv6 Council under his ministry to provide leadership and strategic planning for IPv6 implementation in Malaysia. The new Internet protocol is one of three technologies that the country will focus on within the Ninth Malaysia Plan. The others are sensor technologies and broadband. Halim also revealed that the government is now drawing up a budget to promote IPv6 within the country. At
a separate event, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi told a meeting of the National
Information Technology Council that he was unhappy with the rural-urban divide
reflected in Internet penetration among schools located in the rural areas and
those in the cities. Jamaluddin Jarjis, the Minister of Science, Technology and
Innovations said that about 80 percent of all schools now have Internet access
and the goal is for all schools to be eventually connected online. The minister
also revealed that out of a total of approximately 9,180 schools in the country,
about 7,500 already have broadband access to the Web. |
