7. 1996 NTT Labs started one of the world largest global IPv6 research networks. 1997 CICNet and NWNet, later acquired by Verio, started operating major nodes of 6bone. 1999 NTT Communications (NTT Com) obtained sTLA from APNIC. NTT Com started IPv6 tunneling trial service for its domestic brand “OCN” customers in Japan (over 200 trial customers). 2000 NTT MCL started the world first commercial IPv6 IX (s-IX) in San Jose, US. NTT Europe started IPv6 trial service (over 400 trial customers). 2001 NTT Com started the world first commercial IPv6 services, “IPv6 Gateway Service” and “OCN IPv6 Tunnel Service”. HKNet started IPv6 services in Hong Kong. NTT Com played a key role in Japan National Project “IPv6 Home Appliance Trials”. NTT Com participated in European Communities’ “6NET / Large-Scale International IPv6 Test bed” Project . History of NTT/VERIO IPv6 Activities

8. 2002.6 Internet Multifeed started a commercial IPv6 IX”JPNAP6” in Tokyo. 2002.7 NTT Com announced its plan to provide IPv6 for its commercial Wireless LAN service “HOTSPOT”. 2002.8 NTT Com started IPv6/IPv4 dual stack ADSL access service with Plug’n Play (site auto-configuration) function. 2002.9 NTT MSC started IPv6 services in Malaysia. 2002.9 NTT Australia IP started IPv6 services in Australia. 2002.9 NTT Com won the World Communication Awards 2002, “Best Technology Foresight – IPv6” and “Best carrier – AP Region”. 2002.11NTT Com started IPv6 IP-VPN. 2003.2 NTT Europe started IPv6 services in Europe. Rest of Asian NTT/VERIO’s POPs are also preparing to IPv6 services. History of NTT/VERIO IPv6 Activities within this one year
