Does this mean though I can get an IP from ISP I cannot become the absolute owner of the same?
Are only ISP's allowed to own IP's? What I mean is if individuals are allowed a whois should return the persons name as the owner of the IP!

BTW who manges the IP allocation? Is it the same like frequency spectrum?? Some govt or related agency???

Well, we are ready to provide IPv6 IP addresses anytime and want to make sure for the right time to do so. Any Idea?:smash:

Really?? So you are saying most of providers are now providing not only IPv4 but also IPv6 IP addresses?
:shocked:

European Commission has made target to enable 25% of users to connect to IPv6 and use important services over IPv6 by the end of 2010.

This makes sense, but I guess the routing code in the kernel has
hardcoded that link local destinations must specify the interface,
whether the link local route in the routing table is unique or not.

Thanks everyone.

Well, I assume I should launch IPv6 hosting in 2010.

Yes, you CANNOT become the owner of the same. Ownership of the IP does NOT pass through to the client.

The ISP is more of the provider and your like the client is the way it usually is.
